Pros
- Flexible schedule - Talented coworkers - Basic benefits - Depending on the department, enjoyable work. - If you're younger and new to the full-time workforce, this might be a good place to get a first taste of corporate life. Just know that there are other companies with higher standards and better environments.
Cons
- Everything is outdated - equipment, ideas, main office design. - Toxic environment - Starting with people in upper management positions. No accountability for unseemly behavior and comments. - Corporate office location - The building is in an industrial, suburban area on the outskirts of Bradenton, with not much nearby. You can drive to places for lunch, but if you've worked in a walkable city, this is not that. - High turnover - constant retraining, largely because of low pay - people get better offers and leave. - Low pay - if you're used to giving 110% and being fairly rewarded for it, this is not the place for you. There are no monetary bonuses, just very small annual pay increases. You're lucky to get a dollar. - General workforce challenges - It seems Bealls struggles to find and retain quality talent, due to the factors above.
