Pros

I have worked for the company for about 6 years and it took me that long to just become a keyholder. They are very biased and only hire people they like or fit them. Managers are a joke most of the time, my manager seems to not be able to find out the simplest information or just won't. I have to call her myself to find out any info if I need it. The customers will argue with you about pricing bc they have reps that will adjust their pricing and sometimes do it without them knowing so that leads the store people to have to deal with the backlash of an angry customer. I had a customer come in and call me some awful names not too long ago and we had to call the cops and everything he threatened me that he would bury me, anyway the DM only said to let the manager handle him from now on instead of banning him money or no he wasn't even buying a lot of stuff. I was scared to go to work for about 3 weeks after that and was laughed at when I said as much.

Cons

poor management Lack of communication between employees and employers They don't keep you safe Money hungry

Pros

Pay is decent and the employees are pretty cool

Cons

Management is a joke. They only care about numbers. They don’t care if you have a family they’ll schedule for mandatory overtime everyday. Out of 12 months they made us work mandatory OT for 9 months straight 6 days a week. You only get 1 30 min lunch and 1 10 min break. Run away!!

Pros

Team mentality. Contractors are easy to deal with and you really are helping them grow their business.

Cons

You'll have little to no personal life. Tough, long hours. Skeleton crew if you are lucky enough to have anyone working at all. Company is failing under the current leadership. Every tenured employee is leaving. Performance increases not even keeping up with inflation. I'm tired of operating in crisis mode constantly due to the company's missteps.
