Pros

The days off are great. Nice vacation time and personal time off. Holiday time off is nice also. There are lots of options such as stock, 401k and direct deposit

Cons

Poor management that give you lack of direction. The training for this company is far worst than any company I've ever worked with. The culture that they speak of is completely off. They are not open to any new ideas even if the existing ideas are costing them in the long run. In no certain terms, they seem to be out of touch.

Pros

The managers actually care about your best interest and you as a person, they look at each worker as an individual instead of everyone as employees. The pay is pretty good with yearly raises and bonus's.

Cons

Can be hard to move up in the company, it is a fast paced job so if you get stressed easily you might not enjoy the amount of work needed during busy seasons, some of the residents can occasionally be rude but that also comes with any sort of customer service job and you build a good thick skin against it if you stick it out.
