Pros

- Ability to move into better paying positions - Many networking opportunities - Nice building - WFH Fridays - Good PTO package but could be better

Cons

- Pay is painfully low considering the cost of living in this area - Lack of communication and visibility - There’s no culture - Too many people with SVP & VP positions adding to the already overly complex organizational structure - The job is entry level and very boring for people with any outside office experience

Pros

Leadership that cares about their Associates. Opportunities to grow skills and knowledge via trainings and cross-team ventures. Employee Relation Groups that are important to a diverse workforce.

Cons

Pay is lacking for the experience gained. Annual performance review is not indicative of the work put it. Follow up on issues is not consistent. Some employees are disciplined for small infractions while others are provided zero repercussions for blatant failure to abide by the rules.

Pros

Left to Your Own Devices: If you enjoy being entirely on your own without any meaningful guidance, resources, or support from corporate, you will get plenty of it here. Air Conditioning Works (Usually): The building generally has a roof and four walls, and the physical time clock successfully records your hours.

Cons

Leadership Transparency: A severe lack of professional transparency from upper management. Retaliatory Management Culture: There is a distinct disconnect between corporate feedback initiatives and district-level execution. Honest participation in internal leadership and company feedback surveys is not met with constructive dialogue, but rather with immediate professional retaliation and termination.
