Pros

relaxed dress code, excellent benefits, opportunities to learn cool things (like coding, 3D printing), new director has initiated some great changes

Cons

limited opportunities for growth, inconsistent management/experience across branches (some branches are a wonderful place to work, while other branches are the worst place to work), master's degrees are encouraged yet the work itself does not seem to require such advanced schooling, branches are over-staffed so there is not a lot of work to go around and days can be boring.

Pros

The management team at my branch was skilled, empathetic, and collaborative

Cons

No cons really. My branch is across the street from a middle school, so teenagers are very much that Branch's bread and butter.
