Pros

When you do have out of town trips, they set you up in decent hotels with a great food allowance. Reimbursement is also enough to cover your travel with paid salary drive time.

Cons

You are not guaranteed any hours a week and OFTEN GO WITHOUT WORK for a few weeks. Most of the management is very incompetent, there is 0 communication in the company. This job is very unstable and I have gone 2 months without 1 assignment. The training is very "what you make it." They set me up with someone the first day to show me what to do, but after that I was on my own. They didn't even know who I was meeting with every assignment after that, every store does everything differently, and I had to constantly bother and stick to someone to understand my job. Their training is just a bunch of company history films. That's it.

Pros

Excellent, training focused culture. Poised for growth. Respect for human beings is treated as highest priority.

Cons

Leaders doing too much line level work, as a result of growing pains. Leaders tend to get burnt out as they move up.
