Pros

You will fall into depression but it's a job

Cons

Don't work here even if your life depends on it...FSR only cares about $$$. You will be placed in a KNOWN toxic, hostile work environment where you will also be harassed in all forms but expected to keep it a secret. If you report it, FSR will retaliate. Same goes for OSHA safety violations. Sick Building syndrome, profuse black mold throughout tho' reported and visible will be ignored. Don't think about working for THE PLAZA - they will say some don't count but 6 mgrs in approx. 4 years should tell you there is a systemic hostility there. Your job will be daily misery. Backstabbing, NO support, nepotism, cliques (bad mgrs protected); blatant breach of code of ethics runs rampant but sshhh. Regional Directors have no oversight. Blatant corruption abounds but do NOT speak up. If you do, they break you down and discredit you. No training; back office is a known disaster. When you mess up due to lack of training, you will be blamed that you should have known.

Pros

Great Office space, I really enjoyed the tech setup. Nice and easy for plug and play open desk seating.

Cons

Everyone is stretched so thin. This makes it difficult to get help on items that require senior management approval.
