Pros

Regular hours, inside growth, opportunity to work at multiple locations.

Cons

Inconsistent leadership. Your satisfaction with the job will depend on who you get tossed to. If you work under a great DM, things go well enough, despite the customers you have to deal with. It's miserable under a bad DM. Short staffing has been plaguing this job and no action was taken soon enough. The promotion opportunities never feel worth it due to the discrepancy between the pay and the work load that different sites require. Most of the time, you're dealing with upset customers for one reason or another, and depending on what immediate leadership you're under, you're getting accosted for other matters by them along with it.

A Cool Place to Work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

It has an independent work environment where you can manage your own time flexibly and use your own personality as an effective tool. Daytime shifts only- Hybrid Job between property janitorial/maintenance work and administrative account management office work. Seems fairly easy to move up positions.

Cons

They claim there is strong work/life balance yet you cannot have two consecutive days off as Saturdays and now Mondays are required. On Sundays offices are closed. They also kind of expect you to answer your phone on your days off if you're a store manager and a customer has a problem or there is an emergency- but you aren't being paid to be on-call. You will be expected to do sales on some degree as they grade everything you do and even employ almost predatory secret shoppers to test your processes.

Favoritism/Biased

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

benefits and working solo (although can be a con also)

Cons

Lots of favoritism, biased, and DMs NOT welcoming and they have a sense of "I'm better than you and you are replaceable."
