Pros

Summer hours, Starbucks in walking distance.

Cons

Where to begin? Horrible management, constant turnover, everyone walking around waiting to be terminated, elitist, greedy CEO and upper management, little to no morale because raises are few and far between (thanks but no thanks for the "performance awards"... We're not in grade school and your dopey award won't pay my mortgage), corrupt HR department that makes hiring/firing decisions about other departments with absolutely no knowledge of those departments' needs or even functions, constant meetings to discuss other meetings and future meetings, upper management nickels and dimes employees to death on salary but goes to great lengths to insure their own astronomical salaries; nasty, catty CEO who thinks nothing of humiliating and demoralizing other executives in front of others...ugh, the list goes on.

Pros

30% off discount – Nothing else

Cons

This company exhibits a daily fluctuation in its attitudes and approaches, affecting both employee interactions and customer service. Managers are not protected from customer complaints, and customer service consistently prioritizes customer satisfaction over factual investigations. District managers can be either supportive and understanding or dismissive and unprofessional. Some district managers may even encourage employees to resign due to their negative attitude. I have personally experienced multiple instances where district managers reacted negatively to a simple “no.” This behavior, coupled with the managers’ excessive workload and lack of recognition, has led to employee frustration and breakdowns. While the district manager for Georgia expresses a desire to change the company culture, the current culture remains unchanged, characterized by superficial gestures of “fake smiles” and “fake support.” The company’s practices are exploitative, and employees are constantly reminded of their replaceability and lack of value. This toxic work environment has created a hostile and unpleasant atmosphere.
