Pros

Pay is fair Benefits Flexible Discount more than fair

Cons

This is not a company to involve with if you’re a woman regardless of your race or experience. Men run this place and let me tell you they run it like an old boys club. Stay away if you want to be valued and appreciated. Not the smartest field organization in terms of communication and delivering a good culture. High turnover rate in the store I worked in and it causes constant retraining. Low investment level from the company to the athlete. Higher ups are just out to have a good time and job job and drink. Bully mentality if you bring up concerns. Constant changes in the way that people are paid and no concern for how the message gets delivered. RDD constantly cancelling conference calls and talking about other leaders. This isn’t transparency it’s just foolish. The things you read about are true!
