Pros

The CEO is a truly nice person who wants the best for his people and his company. The benefits were good. The perks were a lot of fun.

Cons

The commitment to value on the surface seems incredible. There are 4 values that are embedded into your daily life. However, these are not practiced by much of leadership. It's more do as I say, not as I do. That was by far the most disappointing thing about working at FiveStars. For example, two values- humility and authentic relationships. In a 360 review I had the audacity to share that my boss needed improvement in an area. The feedback had been given to her prior to the review by myself and others, but when I shared it was was reamed for it. I thought I would be fired then and there for giving authentic feedback we'd discussed. Hardly humble. There is an Us vs. Them between HQ and non-HQ. Particularly with sales which was a churn and burn mentality. While the culture can be a lot of fun, the drinking often lead to not so fun situations for employees.
