Pros

Solid organization and great HR department that is concerned about employees, all the way from the top. Energetic management. They still provide employees with weekly treats, a yearly In-and-Out Burger festival and have many office activities such as birthdays. When other companies have cut back, they still do some of the nice things that have gone by the wayside in other companies. Hard works is rewarded, raises, although not huge, are fair and at least still give in spite of the economic times. Long term and new employees and a mix of all ages makes it a very integrated company. They make money, even in the bad economy (perhaps more in the bad economy). Executive goup is smart and friendly

Cons

Sometimes a bit too conservative. The business model is a classic American top-down, command style (but it works for them), and for creative people, that may be difficult at times.

Pros

As a newer employee I can say that the training program is fantastic. This is not a company that will throw you into a position and tell you "good luck". The training is 2-3 months with full pay. The people I have been working with are great trainers, but also really enjoy coming to work. It's definitely not a miserable place to be. As far as the actual position, you are given a lot of autonomy to run your own District, but you will never be sitting around looking at your watch. There is a lot of variety of work, and if you are the type of person who likes to get outside then you will be thankful that you aren't stuck in a cubicle 24/7. There is also a lot of untapped potential talent to work with at the property level. I really enjoy the coaching with employees and helping them learn life-long skills that will help them be their best. Coaching and developing people at the property level will help you set your team apart from other Districts. You also work as a team with other Districts and the attitude is helpful and competitive, but not when it's at detriment to the company. The best part about the company is that people from Regional to "Corporate" are all very welcoming and happy to have a conversation with you. There is no "better than you" upper managers that I have met. I can walk over to someone in real-estate and they are happy to talk about how they help make the business run. All the Regional Managers are invested into employee well-being, even with people that don't work for them. I don't think I've seen that anywhere else I've worked. If you are on the fence about applying, you should go in for the interview. Between the ride along "day in the life of" and interview process, you will know it's the right place for you.

Cons

The company restricted stock program is a great incentive to further your career. 8 years is a long horizon for full vestment of stock.
