Pros

Summer hours from Memorial Day through Labor Day, competitive salary, never a dull moment. Some people definitely care more than others, and work hard.

Cons

Long hours, poor work/life balance, unsupportive managers. High turnover means lack of clarity in roles, and too many new executives trying to put their own stamp on the business. Definite favoritism, and if you don't drink the KoolAid, you're out. Absolutely toxic environment, and they try to hide it behind shallow "culture building" events.

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.
