Pros

- Good place to start a management career -Love some of the people I work with -Company paid trips for National Brand Training -Met a lot of important people at the university I work at

Cons

- Zero work life balance... my longest shift was 22 hours one day.. 4am-2am -They don't really care about the staff.. the motto is "do perfect or we'll replace you" - They use scare tactics to motivate people instead of coaching or helping. Every command is complimented with a reminder that you can be written up - There's many more that are smaller and sound petty but they all add up to create a hostile work environment where you are basically encouraged to do your bare minimum because you're so disillusioned with the job.

Pros

Travel opportunities. Former corporate management was extremely supportive and good to work with. Free food. Free drama.

Cons

Work life balance. Don’t be a mother to young children if you want to work here. Verbal communication vs. what you get in an email will be contradictory….the gaslighting was unbelievable. Digital metric systems put in place by new corporate management has taken all the creativity and actual management out of the job. Will be mad at you if you don’t make the numbers they want to see, but will provide zero guidance on how best to do so. Hours were extremely long in order to complete all job responsibilities. New upper management is inflexible to specific account needs. Each account is different. HR does not help you - they protect the company. If you need to terminate an employee - they make it impossible.
