Pros

If hard work builds character... then I have a ton of it. Most of the people I worked with were great people.

Cons

OLD BOYS CLUB. Felt like I was back in college and the Frat boys ran the show yet did little of the work. Huge disconnect between upper management and what actually goes on at the branch level. Pay is terrible. Long work hours. Feel like I wasted several years of my life. I worked at 3 different branches and each branch had a bad attitude about the company.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
