Pros

The company offers competitive salaries and advertises an unlimited vacation policy, which on the surface sounds like a strong work-life balance benefit. These perks make the company appear attractive from the outside.

Cons

Behind the company’s employee experience messaging, the reality doesn’t always match. HR processes are extremely inefficient, often making it unnecessarily difficult to access or utilize benefits. Policies and support structures feel inconsistent, and employees can end up spending more energy navigating bureaucracy than focusing on their work. Advancement is highly political — promotions, salary increases, and even disciplinary actions are applied inconsistently, which creates a sense of unfairness and low morale. Leadership promotes work-life balance publicly, but in practice, the systems in place make that balance challenging to achieve.

Pros

Benefits are good. PTO Day 1.

Cons

No advancement opportunity. They claim they hire internally, but they don't seem to adhere to that. Out of nowhere, hours were cut from 40 hours to 32 for our particular shift due to "business needs". However it seems like we are rarely caught up at the end of the night. The same position on another shift did not lose nearly as many hours. Then, there was a location wide meeting where they bragged about record sales and record profits. Seems pretty insensitive to do in front of employees who lost over 20% of their pay. The manager comes off as completely harsh and rude. When you fill out a survey stating facts, they are met with a dismissive tone followed by, "you know this is not true". Training is non existent. Other underpaid employees have to train you so it's like a game of telephone where the training contains just a little less information or a little more incorrect information each time. Pay for other positions in the organization is below average. When applying for those positions internally, they want to base pay on your current role instead of based on qualifications for the job being offered. There is a pay range listed for jobs, don't expect to get anywhere near the top and you are LUCKY to see the middle of that range. Pay raises are not anywhere near inflation rates, so if you stay more than a year you are losing money.
