Pros

Decent Pay, lots of benefits, lots of flexibility. Branch level management was great and had a great group of people to work with.

Cons

No work life balance, working 14-16 hours a day was normal and the regional management was awful. At that level they do not care about anyone else. This is only specific for the region I was most recently in as I have worked in several and the others were not that way. Here you are only a name on a piece of paper with zero value no matter what you do.

Cons

Micromanaging to the max, sink or swim environment, regional blows money on themselves expecting sales team to sell more for them to have more money… favoritism, and good ole boy club. Fake do not care about you unless you’re in the boys club….
