Pros
- Talent on the front lines are great people, passionate and better than the company gives them credit for - Resume builder for those lucky enough to advance - Money is good
Cons
- Culture is far from the CEOs vision, and gets thrown to the wayside as you get lower on the chain - No work life balance unless you are lucky to have a manager that respects their employees and values their time - Lots of out of pocket expenses, company expects employees to foot the bill for events, temporary relocations, and travel - Corporate management micromanages everything on the front lines - Corporate management does not practice what they preach when it comes to coaching, documentation or termination - When something is not what is expected there is no coaching, training or support from the corporate team, they turn to documentation and set employees up to be terminated - The common conversation is everyone fears daily that today could be their last day, it’s at will and they take full advantage of that - Corporate management keeps everything a secret, front lines are in the dark on operating costs, controllable and uncontrollable expenses, profits, and loses making it hard to run and drive a new and growing business successfully - Job security is nonexistent and the longevity of employees is 2-3 years
