Pros

Pretty standard benefits for any similar company. Initial starting wage seemed appropriate and I was assured I would receive a 90 day increase. Good discount on Bissell products.

Cons

What you are told while interviewing and negotiating your possible starting wage/benefits it is unfortunately not how it works out to be. I personally was assured I’d be eligible for the fist coming up bonus and wage increase however my supervisor either was negligible or simply lied. The orientation process is an absolute joke, if you want to know the company policies you will have to read to handbook on your own time. I’d recommend it because I was also told information on company policy that wasn’t correct and this was during the time you typically learn many of the company policies. Your job and job description can very easily change as the manager needs. Also includes mandatory OT do to high turnover in nearly all departments. And my final con even though I have more I could list, the attendance policy is outrageously strict, if your shift starts at 6 and you punch in at 6 you will be considered tardy. Oh and you might not find out you have multiple tardy points until a verbal warning. Sorry final one I promise, if you suck up, speak praises of your superiors, you have a significantly better chance of promotion or higher pay even if you are not good in the slightest bit at your job

Pros

The business remains one of the oldest family-owned companies in the US, that continues to see growth and success. There's transparency with results and we avoid the unnecessary fiscal exercises that are tied back to shareholder reporting with publically traded companies. The culture is one of respect and flexibility.

Cons

There are be some over conservatism at times, but the long history of success speaks for itself.
