Pros

Zero positive experiences with this company

Cons

While employed with them I agreed to assist in office management for the Dallas location (my title was coordinator the entire time). I readily agreed to this extra work as I was assured that in January 2025 I’d receive a title change and a significant raise from my director herself. When it came time for her to provide the previously agreed upon title and compensation I was informed my performance did not deserve this yet I never received any notice of wrong doing or write ups the entire time I was in this interim assistance role. Bait and switch tactics seem to be the bread and butter amongst the department leaders at the Dallas location. Watch out for the office spies as those two will do anything to look good.

Pros

Honestly, your coworkers are the best part of the job. Most are funny and hardworking people. My second boss was pretty much the most amazing boss on the planet.

Cons

You will NEVER. EVER. Get a good raise. Period. No matter how hard you work, the extra work you do will NOT influence your pay.
