Pros

They spend a lot of money on events (food, parties, music, etc.). I think they do this to try to balance out the known toxic work environment.

Cons

Aggressive and worthless stack ranking process. As a former people leader, I am personally ashamed to have knowingly participated in the 6-7 days per year we dedicated to this debate. This is not a quantitative comparison, but rather a political exercise in which managers could prop up their employees the best. For the record, I never personally fell "below the bar" and this is not a bitter response to that. Senior leaders also work within a cult of personality. In Auto Finance, the department head requires all employees to travel to a stadium once a year to watch him speak for 4 hours (no guests, just the ego maniac speaking). Similarly, the CEO requires the company to spend 4 full days each year listening to him give a personal presentation (again, no guests, just rambling).

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
