Pros

The people I have worked with are great. Management is great.

Cons

Health insurance is awful. Only high deductible plans offered and you have to pay out of pocket for prescriptions until the deductible is met. If you have a family plan with the 10k deductible you need to spend 10k in prescriptions out of pocket before they cover anything that isn't preventative meds. Sorry diabetes people. You are screwed!! Your insulin or other meds are out of pocket. It's shameful. Also it doesn't kick in until 61 days. Coverage is worse than a Healthcare Marketplace plan and not much less expensive in the long run. PTO is not good for a full time employee. Don't come here thinking you will get 2 weeks in your first year. 40 hours AND pro-rated to Jan 1st. Absolutely terrible for a company this size. I don't know how they even make the list of best companies to work at. If I had to do it over I would STAY AWAY!

Pros

I hd really great coworkers at my branch, which made work enjoyable.

Cons

District manager was extremely unpleasant and did not try to work with college students schedules, unlike previous manager. She was very rude and unapproachable.
