Pros

Funeral Home and Cemetery Employees and managers are really nice and understanding.

Cons

Managers at the corporate office don’t want their employees to grow. They do not set a clear pathway for advancement. They ask you to be engaged but they have “cliques” and they admit to that. If you are ambitious and want to be on a growth and development path, this place is not for you. They all internally gossip about one another and have very high turn over. Although, the CEO has a great vision and shows care, the leaders there are not helping the company grow. They don’t practice zero tolerance for retaliation. They preach it but fire people when they want- claiming, it’s at will employment. Zero internal communication. If you bring up a problem that should be addressed, they just put a bandaid on it and sweep it under the rug.
