Pros

- Convenient location - Clean work environment

Cons

- No focus on staff - Very little incentive in all areas including sales - Very top down management style - CEO seems to have to force herself to engage with staff for about 10 seconds a week - Disengaged Sr. management - Unfair sales structure resulting in one or two sales staff benefiting while the rest struggle - Little to no spending on marketing - You will be fired if you put the colour pink in your email signature as per the CEO - Employees seem driven by fear of losing their jobs - Broken business processes which leads to frustrated staff and finger pointing. Management almost never takes responsibility. (typical sh*t rolls down hill environment) - Expects results without investing in marketing or staff - Extremely micro-managed

Pros

I loved working with my co-workers, customers and truly enjoyed the consulting and training work I delivered.

Cons

Inconsistent communication from the senior leadership team. Immediate manager was great to work for.

Thanks for the positive comments. Regarding the "inconsistent communication" - thanks for pointing that out also. Providing honest and accurate information is one of the most important activities for a leader, and when we fall short it can be a real de-motivator. Sometimes we might think we've done a good job of keeping people up-to-date with important news and direction, but the proof of the pudding is how people react. Clearly you felt we have fallen short at times. Sorry - we will try to improve. Good luck in your future endeavours!

Pros

Good job just if you are a teen and have the hours to work. Manager is super nice. Decent scheduling. Biggest + is tips, normally range from $2-30 A day.

Cons

Pay is bad They refuse to let you work over 40hrs/week 5-7hr shifts and they will send you home if labour's high so it makes it hard to even get 30hrs/week. Open from 8am-7pm so hours are odd Also you don't get rewarded for going the extra mile, the people sitting on their phone get payed just as much or more then you do.
