Pros

Julie in the training department might be the only person on the corporate level who is fair, and actually cares about team members. Shes amazing. The real deal.

Cons

The only way you will fit it with Corp. is if you drink with them. You will be looked down upon if you dont partake in all the drinking this company does

Less than a year and ready to bail. Left a good company for this place and it's been a nightmare.

Pros

Closed sundays and holidays. Benefits are decent. Beats off and paid.

Cons

Where do I begin? Unappreciated. Dishonest. If you dont know the right people or aren't in with the cool kids your not accepted. Thrives on drama and gossip. Their values are a joke. I've barely been here a year and I began putting out my resume this week. Enough is enough.

Pros

Sundays off are a nice perk uniform card is helpful even though a percentage comes out of your check, nice locations for the properties.

Cons

Gossip is rampant, it’s not what you know but who you know to be “successful” the values are used only when convenient. A Respect for People is a joke, the reality is people are disposable.
