Pros

Compensation, Unlimited PTO, Remote, 401K match, Performance Bonus

Cons

Leadership had no clear direction for the team, employees were tired and not optimistic about change, high leadership turnaround, everyone wants to do the same thing as they did for the last 20 years, not open to change. Could get very toxic if you let it, nobody felt empowered. All of this was before merger as Catalyst.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
