Pros
Privately owned company, not owned by large firm or private equity Your input matters. Leadership makes a point to listen to and include Team Members in decision making Always looking for innovative and new ideas Internal Promotions are an extremely common occurrence. If you start at an assistant manager position, you can work you way all the way up the ladder. If you want to learn how to do something, you can get the resources and support to do so. You do not need a college degree to become an integral part of the organization. Raises come with promotions and end of year reviews. Every one of my raises has been a meaningful amount. Medical/Dental/Vision benefits are good, company pays a large portion of it. Unbeatable 401k matching up to 8% Company is re-investing in itself always. Sales and Quarterly Bonus, End of year profit sharing. This has been the best place I have ever worked.
Cons
Starting pay is low Bonus targets may be unreachable.
