Pros

It's a job with benefits.

Cons

Wages are lower than competitors. Profit share is never had because of inflated budgets. Unless you are a "friend" of upper management you won't get promoted or shift jobs. HR emails and sets wage increases to be at 3% even if you should get more. While the rest of us that do the work are barely getting by on what we make, upper management are all happy and bragging to people about the new vacation house, boat, or new cars they just got. Along with the stock they have in the company that they don't offer to all the rest of the employees that is going up..... They never tell you "good job!" It is always what can they find and tell you that you need to work on even if your store is profitable!

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
