Pros

Laid back approach to managing people. The starting PTO time was amazing. The additional benefits were offered cafeteria style so it was your choice not a one size fits all.

Cons

Extremely stressful. For the required work load, there should have been an additional person.

Provides good opportunity for growth, Wonderful, hardworking, dedicated associates. Company has a strong culture of giving back to the community. Decent pay.

Cons

Senior leaders at Corporate headquarters are not always in touch with or grounded to how associates are feeling in the field. 2015 was a year of tremendous change, leaving associates feeling insecure about their jobs and the direction of the Company.
