Pros

Great flexibility and peers to work with

Cons

The management is horrible at supporting their crew. They cut your budget down to help themselves get bonuses and throw you to the wolves when the client is upset and things being cut.

Pros

Adam and Bob are great leaders and we are growing very quickly. I love that they understand that not every area can be ran exactly the same and give us the opportunity to run like a business owner. With our growth, we have acquired both great clients and staff. This has made our areas denser and provided the opportunity to have boots on the ground mgmt at each campus and a better overall work life balance.

Cons

as long as you stay on your toes and move quickly to develop new relationships, welcome new friends and keep an open mind to new ideas it can be quite exciting
