Pros

The workplace offers the opportunity to advance to management positions rather easily. However it is largely gained through politics rather than actual work ethic.

Cons

A culture that fostered more gossip than any other job I ever had. The work itself was not that difficult when staffed appropriately, but all too often the payroll was low and you would be overun with customers.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
