Pros

lots of pros to list. My top 3: Bridge program, fitness bucks, and closed Sundays (90% of the time)

Cons

Very high expectations to meet for very minimal pay. Core company values such as respect for people and ethical dealings are paramount have been sacrificed since a new regional was hired in the Houston region.
