Pros

This company has a ton of potential and a very bright future. It tries to take care of management and corporate with some decent benefits. It’s actually a pretty simple operation at its core and a lot of the newer hires are extremely talented and experienced.

Cons

They have no idea how to run an operation. They make smart business moves on the macro level but the people in charge have never worked a day in their lives and have no clue how to handle the simple stuff everyone else figured out decades ago. Meanwhile anyone who does know what they are doing is forced to play politics and constantly silenced. Expect to work around the clock and spend an extra 10 hours a week on endless conference calls.

Pros

Supportive Regional manager for sites

Cons

Lack of Accountability (Passing the Buck): Decision-making often lacks ownership, resulting in frustration and confusion when problems arise—issues are shifted rather than addressed. Unrealistic Expectations with Reduced Labor Budget: Increased performance expectations paired with significant cuts to labor budgets leave teams stretched thin and unable to meet demands effectively. High Turnover Among Operational Associates: The combination of workload pressure and no up-word movement leads to frequent employee departures at the associate level. Burnout Among Site Leaders: Site leaders are overwhelmed by the demands of managing intense workloads with insufficient staffing and appropriate labor hours support, has led to burnout and diminished morale. Insufficient Support Structures: There is a noticeable gap between what is expected of employees and the support (training, tools, manpower) provided to help them succeed. Reactive Rather Than Strategic Planning: Operational strategy often feels short-sighted, with decisions made on the fly rather than through proactive, long-term planning.
