Engaged Employer

Pros

Salaries are high for a reason ladies and gents. They draw you in by paying you more than average, but once you're there, I promise you will dread going to work every single day. The only other "pro" I can think of is summer Friday's.

Cons

This review is specifically directed toward the HR department. The managers do not care, nor does senior leadership. When there was a mistake made, the finger was always pointed down to the last person on the totem pole. Once they decide they don't like you, better believe you'll be either A) put on a performance improvement plan and they'll give you so much work there's no way you could ever possibly "improve" or B) they'll make your life so miserable to the point where you're almost being hazed that you'll decide to quit yourself (usually they'll try for the latter so they don't have to pay you severance). All I can say is, I'm happy to be far removed from this place. Now that I'm at a new company, I'm finally being appreciated and respected. I'm considered a top performer and I was recently awarded a $500 gift card as a thanks for the contributions I've made thus far at the firm. I couldn't be happier to have left TCP and it makes me smile to know that I walked away from a circus of clowns with my head held high.

Pros

30% off discount – Nothing else

Cons

This company exhibits a daily fluctuation in its attitudes and approaches, affecting both employee interactions and customer service. Managers are not protected from customer complaints, and customer service consistently prioritizes customer satisfaction over factual investigations. District managers can be either supportive and understanding or dismissive and unprofessional. Some district managers may even encourage employees to resign due to their negative attitude. I have personally experienced multiple instances where district managers reacted negatively to a simple “no.” This behavior, coupled with the managers’ excessive workload and lack of recognition, has led to employee frustration and breakdowns. While the district manager for Georgia expresses a desire to change the company culture, the current culture remains unchanged, characterized by superficial gestures of “fake smiles” and “fake support.” The company’s practices are exploitative, and employees are constantly reminded of their replaceability and lack of value. This toxic work environment has created a hostile and unpleasant atmosphere.
