Pros

Compensation is good. Opportunity to grown and learn new technology.

Cons

Bosses who like to micro manage. Management talks down to employees and is very condescending. Leadership goal seems to be focused on personal development. They are more focused on what will get them a promotion than the development of those that report to them. Unprofessional practices: Sr. Director level played a prank on all managers below him claiming there were associates complaining about management. While all the managers were starting to panic, Sr. Director said that they should all cancel their Christmas vacation to deal with this situation. Eventually he revealed that it was all a joke but the damage had been done as managers spoke out of what they perceived could be the problem. Those not in the know that it was a joke were clearly stressed and anxious and did not find it funny.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
