Pros

Steady pay from a solid company. They do offer benefits. They dont expect much from hourly employees. They can work around school schedules.

Cons

They dont pay much for hourly positions, advancement is slow, and salary turn over is high. The "new" scheduling system is horrible and makes working part time very hard, if you have days you are not available do not expect many hours on the days you are. Which is odd because they prefer to hire a 50/50 mix of full/part time employees. They used to really care about and take care of the employees, as time goes by it seems like that attitude is going by the wayside.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
