Pros

Good amount of freedom allowed. Strong financial growth for stockholders. A good place to learn if you are lucky enough to have one of the few good managers.

Cons

Not a lot of strong leadership from the top. Very high amount of turnover negatively impacts customer base. Low pay for workload and expectations. Everyone is disposable under district manager level.

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
