Pros

Free breakfast at the SSC Health and dental benefits Central San Diego location Pet friendly workplace.

Cons

I used to love working here and I loved the company. I felt that I worked for a company that cared for its people. Now it's all an obsession about numbers. The heart of this company is its people and that has been forgotten. Larry has abandoned the home office and turned a blind eye to what is going on. Everything is a big show of how awesome everything is, but it's all a facade. Reading through the other reviews, I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who feels this way. The managers, or people of authority, at the SSC are there because they were someone's favorite. It's difficult to respect someone above you if you don't respect how they got there. The bigger this company gets the worse it has been to work for and the more money the company makes, the less we make. Raises are percentages of percentages and bonuses went from amazing to non existent. Everything is about the company making more money or saving more money. I just came from the yearly company conference where they suggested the managers send someone home 15 minutes early every day at our stores. "Doing this will save the company exactly this much money in a year." they said. How about limiting employee turnover to save money? No one mentioned that. Our motto is "for purpose". Maybe it's time to reevaluate what that purpose really is.

Pros

Easy, straight forward, good location, decent pay, good environment. Many locations even international. Management flexible on hours. Fellow employees are usually a really good bunch of college students.

Cons

Not enough hours to go around for every one. Only a few set of hour schedule for each day. Limited room to move up in the company.

Pros

Locations that you work. Ability for hard workers to get ahead, if you play by the rules.

Cons

Unprofessional practices behind the scenes at SSC. Favoritism run amok. The "culture" of being a company for the people that are on the front lines is not what it used to be. Instability in the infrastructure at its core and lip service that it's getting better.
