Decent to good pay Good to great hourly and support staff Weekends off (at area manager level)

Cons

"Do more with less" / blood from a stone Continuous threats from upper management Borderline dishonest or unethical business practices No input from store management on decisions or changes Job slashers Bought a company and promptly disregarded their ideas and leadership "Good ole boys" atmosphere Unprofessional and disrespectful language and tone from Sr leadership on company or region wide calls More conference calls than you can ever imagine Little to no autonomy at Area/general manager level

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.

Cons

The internal culture is highly political, and professional advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. You frequently have to play corporate games and kiss up to management just to get ahead or be noticed.
