Pros

Rapid growth = real opportunity. Advancement is based on your willingness to learn and the work you put in. Culture isn’t lip service. Leaders model values daily; the team is passionate, caring, and all‑in. People‑first environment. Recognition is frequent, feedback is constructive, and development resources are accessible. High trust and ownership. Clear goals, room to lead, and support when you need it. Mission you can be proud of. Community impact and customer focus make the work meaningful.

Cons

Pace is fast. If you’re not self‑driven, it can feel demanding. Growth brings change. Priorities shift; you have to embrace it. Retail hours. Early mornings/holidays happen—comes with the territory.

Pros

Fantastic health and customer service standards If you have a good management team, everything goes smoothly and even when it doesn't they help you handle it If you negotiate pay before being officially hired, they are willing to negotiate Opportunity for growth Affordable benefits that are actually good

Cons

A LOT is expected from you, and if you don't negotiate for higher pay before being hired, or at the time of promotion, it can feel like you're being underpaid for sure. Just because you are on the same level as someone else, doesn't necessarily mean you will receive the same pay rate
