Pros

Overall, the co-workers were the best part of the job as everyone commiserates together on the negative environment and poor leadership of the senior leadership team.

Cons

No work/life balance. Worked almost every PTO day as the expectation is that you immediately respond to emails and jump on conference calls. There will be fire drills that need attention every time you are away from the office. Leaders also expect you to be available and responding to work emails and complete projects on weekends. Employees seen crying at their desk after being torn apart by Senior Leadership Team executives. They will use the word "transformation" to attract you to the Company, but do not mistake it for complete chaos. I managed a large team and was told I needed to manage with fear!

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.
