Pros

I learned a lot during my time working there. Benefits were good.

Cons

I was told that I exceeded expectations in my reviews but that I was "too new" to be promoted. I felt that my skills were taken advantage of since they wouldn't promote me or give me a raise even though I was holding management level responsibilities.

Pros

- One of the most diverse places to work. The overall company culture is great - people are friendly and supportive. Employee recognition is very well managed, which helps keep you motivated and engaged in your work.

Cons

One con is the learning curve associated with the business model. With multiple brands and systems in place, It takes time to fully understand how everything works. Could be addressed with training and inclusivity.

Pros

Good people. Good collaboration. Work life balance is encouraged by managers. Leaders are transparent about strategy for the business in 2026.

Cons

401K does not match contribution until outside of your first year. Health Benefits are pretty average. Bonus structure could be more competitive. Lots of change recently.
