      Decent money, horrible management

      Pros

      For a young college student they pay above average at 11 dollars an hour, and they will give you as many hours as you need.

      Cons

      The management was awful. The manager was rude and condescending. Overly politically charged environment that led to very unprofessional conversations even with customers around. Employees told me that management would be deliberately rude to me as a 'mental test'

      Pros

      Free food, hybrid environment but nobody cares if/when you show up or leave for the day, no accountability from team/managers, kick back and relax while you have ChatGPT to do your job.

      Cons

      Upper management and C level heavily disconnected from rest of staff. Consistent on going layoffs the past 2+ years to protect annual bonus's. Remaining employees expected to pick up the additional work load. If you're in a bind and need a job asap 5.11 isn't a bad choice but if you want something long term with support from your manager, look elsewhere.
