Pros

Took the negative and abusive culture as a motivation to never allow myself to work for a company like this again or ever abuse my power to behave as these people did

Cons

absolutely everything, location, culture, work hours (I worked 60+ hours a week, every weekend, up at 4am pulling reports, and that is at the executive level...same across all levels at the company) not allowed to go on vacation, took 1 week off in 2 years and was expected to answer all calls and emails while on PTO--even though I had a fully capable team to manage the business in my absence, and I was made fun of for taking time off. I once asked to take 1 1/2 weeks off and had to get CEO approval, even though we had no line reviews/major deliverables during that time, I decided to leave at that point. Important to note that all employees receive 5 weeks of PTO, but the caveat is that no one can take it.

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.
