Pros

The company seems to be able to provide steady work for a large number of people, despite the inefficiency and incompetence of its corporate managers

Cons

Other than providing an apparently steady job, this management company functions poorly. Incompetence throughout the middle management seriously undermines the very good work done by employees on the "front lines" Upper and middle management seem to believe that by creating hollow "feedback mechanisms" and by overloading the actual working staff with "corporate mission" tasks and "daily check-ins", the company will actually provide better services. Payroll, HR, benefits, and middle management are inept. Complete inefficiency and incompetence across the board. The pay for the front lines staff is poor.

Pros

I've been with for FSR for 2 years now. I came from a company that was extremely negative and un-supportive of their staff. I had heard that FSR was great to their associates and promoted quickly from within and I found out very quickly that it was true. They make a point to recognize hard work and improvement on a monthly basis and promote when ever possible. They are incredibly positive people and are all about company culture and spirit. Its a tough job made easier by being surrounded by wonderful people and a great company.

Cons

No Cons really, everything I disliked about companies I worked for in the past are non-existent at FSR.
