Pros

Steady work Decent benefits Good location to live

Cons

You can not get rid of troubled employees, they have 18 strikes in 12 months to be qualified for termination. Managers are forced to babysit employees and can be let go at a moments notice but are unable to get rid of problems employees causing the issues you are reprimanded for. Upper management just says "oh well, figure out a way around it, but only if you can go by the book." Which the book says there's no way around it.

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.
