Pros

Lots of opportunity - everyone at the branch level is underpaid and overworked. Because of this, there is constant churn and if you can stand working 55+ hour weeks for a few years, you will naturally climb the ladder because everyone else jumped off. Not TOO corporate

Cons

Pays poorly Benefits are bad Extreme workload Senior leadership routinely lets good people walk away over tiny amounts of money and hands off their work to the people left behind "Cost of Living" raises do not match inflation

Pros

This is a very human place. People are generous with support and consistently demonstrate a connection to each other. The mission of the organization is one that everyone can relate to. Highly recommend.

Cons

We are very distributed based on number of locations. We are still connected but I'd like to be able to connect with more people in person.

Pros

nothing great. stable company and industry.

Cons

Babysitting a termite ridden, run down building for pick customers. no hot water in the building, AC goes out frequently and had more boil water notices than raises in the building. lots of nepotism and favoritism. promises of growth but no actual plan other than to receive more duties and responsibilities without a promotion or meaningful pay increase.
