Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.

Pros

Discount and great entry level experience in selling and fast paced service

Cons

Sales pressure without commission and barely enough incentive for extensive work that is done. Management team is unorganized most of the time and the environment is toxic, there needs to be a shift in leadership. The lack of accountability is hardly taken into consideration and it’s unbelievable how members of management carry themselves when trying to lead by example.
