Pros

As an advisor, sky is the limit but the moment you turn the corner into management things change depending on what brand you work for.

Cons

Upper management operates out of a tower

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and for the better part of a decade with us — that kind of tenure means a lot. It's great to hear the advisor role gave you the freedom and room to grow that it should. We hear the point about upper management feeling distant, and staying connected across every level is something we hold ourselves accountable to as part of the professionalism and teamwork we want to define this company. Feedback from someone who spent this many years with us carries real weight, and we take it seriously. We wish you all the best in what comes next.

Pros

I am still looking for some

Cons

Way to many people working here. Worried about the bottom line? Hire more motivated "non" managers and the store would thrive like it did before GP1 bought it. No one looks forward to coming to work anymore.

Thank you for taking the time to share this, and for more than ten years with us. That kind of commitment matters, and so does your perspective as both a team member and a shareholder. We hear the concerns about how the business is being run and whether the numbers always tell the full story. Professionalism and transparency are standards we hold ourselves to, and honest feedback like yours is part of how we stay accountable to them. We value having you on the team and take these reflections seriously.
