Pros

Pay is okay, decent benefits, bonus & stock if you can survive long enough to see it, not much travel

Cons

AWFUL CULTURE, (and by the way, those gleaming 5* reviews are fake, once you work here, you'll see what I mean. Pool work / Life balance, never a break, managing underpaid, unmotivated employees with no incentive, you truly are a # here, upper management does not care & are just in it for the bonus, poorly maintained facilities, major turn over on DM and hourly employee level, you really are over worked here, plan on never getting quality time off, the hourly employees are miserable, you are a slum lord to the resident managers, mandatory Saturday & Sunday each month On Top of a full work week for 6-7 months out of the year, plan on a 65-70 hour work week, always threatened with losing your job, plan on being maxed out & stressed out, you really have to do everything here / most companies have other employees to do certain things like training & coaching, repairs & maintenance, basic customer service, accounts payable & receivable (this list goes on & on) but here at PS, EVERYTHING falls on the DM lap, and one mistake & you're fired. Nobody seems to be happy, everyone is miserable & bashes this company (I get that every company has this, but it's excessive here) hence the turnover! Don't fall for that "we're growing" BS, they are growing, but people quitting is the REAL problem here. Constantly told what's wrong, but nobody offers to help, there's no development here, it's an electric fence of performance with unrealistic goals. You get little or no support from management or corporate, they all just slam down on the field, and everyone just points fingers & looks for someone to blame, you have no voice here.

Pros

It's guaranteed full time hours. If you like to work alone this is the job for you. You pretty much run the store.

Cons

In the summer you have to deal with wasp, bees, and spiders. You have to work overtime to get a decent pay check. You cannot move up in the company being a relief or property manager. You only get one 50 cent raise after your first 6 months.

Pros

Compensation is decent, and stability is very good. Quite a lot of people with 20+ years on board.

Cons

Lack up upward mobility. Lack of cohesion among mid-level management. Department heads seem to be working to expand their legacies, not improve the business. Benefits are there, but you'll pay a hefty premium. Perks? Not really. Only three company holidays per year. Bottom line, CEO is an accountant, and it shows. Anything and everything to drive shareholder value.
