Pros

Pay is decent, food is good

Cons

They fire so many people every year they constantly have to run ads and fill job boards with a 100 postings in every city just so they can hire more people to them fire. If you get put on PIP it means you will get fired. Everyone steals credit and backstabs their coworkers because of this. Every single YouTube video I watch runs an ad to apply there for the role the just PIP me from. I met all my objectives and was just hired so the manager didn't have to fire the people he already had. Honestly the fact companies treat people like this is so disturbing.

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.
