Pros

Decent pay and benefits but that’s about it

Cons

Horrible leadership team. The company does not care about its employees and discriminate. They allow staff to be harassed.

Pros

Hybrid schedule but always subject to change

Cons

expected to be available 24/7, want to take vacation? expect no coverage, full work load -- assistant is non existent, management is overworked, no time with expectations to constantly complete training and advanced certs. With what extra time? Undercompensated -- yet company brags about MILLIONS in revenue.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you value the flexibility of a hybrid schedule, and we’re sorry to hear that other aspects of your experience have felt challenging. We understand how important work-life balance, adequate support, and clear coverage plans are — especially when it comes to time off and professional development expectations. Our goal is to create sustainable roles where associates feel supported, fairly compensated, and able to grow without feeling overwhelmed. Feedback like yours is important and is shared with leadership as we continuously evaluate workload distribution, staffing support, and training requirements. We appreciate you taking the time to speak up. - Communications and Engagement Manager, Kaitlin Buccheri
