Pros

The checks never bounced. There aren't any other pros I can think of. Beware the vacation policy sucks. If you don't negotiate it on the way in (which is 2 weeks standard), then you have to wait an entire year to get it. Unless you negotiate more...there is no consistency.

Cons

Terrible Management. No communication. Did mass layoffs after celebrating the annual founder's day...what a joke. No appreciation for employees. A lame $30 gift card for Christmas that you get taxed on. Bonuses just for Supervisors and Managers. Corporate is like a high school environment. Better find your click and quick. Oh and know who to sit with at lunch. 6 holidays, 2 floaters. You have to beg to be let out early before major holidays...and then the CEO graciously lets people out at 3pm. It's definitely run like a mom and pop shop. There is nothing good about this company. So glad I left. I just want to warn people who are thinking of working at Corporate. VERY LOW SALARIES...WAY BELOW MARKET. If you want minimum wage...then by all means work there. I wish I would have know then, what I know now....you wonder why it takes so long to fill jobs and why people keep leaving.

Work life balance can vary depending on workload and staffing levels. Some processes can feel repetitive, and advancement opportunities may depend on location and department.
