Pros

Work is enjoyable, pay ok, benefits are ok

Cons

Upper Management needs some training , GM's and RM's don't communicate or lie to employees, doesn't seem like they know their job, will ignore you or belittle you if you disagree with them. They will yell at you in front of customers or won't even talk to you for days. They don't schedule enough staff for busy days but will make sure when they work they have more than enough staff on hand. Very disorganized or lost...You would think when they have a mass exodus of staff they would investiate why.

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
