Pros

lots of young people, high energy, high achieving environment at the SSC office. If you work well independently without the need for training, development, or a clear career path in a sink/swim environment, this is the place for you.

Cons

Management talks from both sides of the mouth, professing a culture that values work/life balance, fun and personal and professional goals while the reality is that the working hours are unreasonable (7 am mandatory meetings, 10+ hours is a normal day, while 13 - 15 hour days are frequent during crunch times. The pressure is constantly there to "rise above mediocrity" and put in the hours to get the work done. if you don't comply, criticism is doled out under the guise of "feedback". complete lack of transparency with what it takes to further your career.

Pros

The benefits with the sweaty Pursuits is good and the insurance is good too! You get a team that you get to put together and get to know them and see what works for you guys to be successful in a processing shift!

Cons

The nights are long and very overworked. They ask a lot from you and usually they put the business before you. It’s always we need this and that from the managers but not actually taking time to help or to actually see that we are trying our best and if they actually worked a shift with us and saw the struggles they would understand more. They think it’s easy, when the weight of the store depends on us. You are also qualified as a Guest Experience lead since you have to do both trainings so the management do over utilise that and you will be doing two jobs. Even though it says in the description to support the floor but there’s a difference between supporting from time to time and doing it all the time where you are running the floor and the back at the same time but they’ll say “oh why isn’t this done?” Maybe because you’ve told me to help you out ? The are also very selective about who moves up to be a manager. No work life balance at all!
