Pros

Very intelligent GM's. Decent pay. Car allowance for managers and sales professionals is top notch. A lot of great people to work with.

Cons

Executive level micromanagement. GM's and DM's are overworked and underpaid. Very little home work life balance with high expectations. Bonuses are made hard to obtain but seem very enticing at first. Seems to be a lot of "guessing" at SOP's from people who haven't spent time in the field or are at least out of touch with current market. And last but certainly not least, price increases. Very competitive market and price increases cause too much lost business (which means no bonus). Price increases may be great for company growth, but growth is irrelevant if you lose the business. Contracts seem to lose validity.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
