Pros

I cant think of any

Cons

They are growing so fast , that the more tenured mgrs get pushed out. They over task you with little to no support. Salary position turns into "you're free labor" ZERO work life balance. Unrealistic expectations. The only thing I would say is run from this company, it will get worse before it gets better.

Pros

• Flexible Scheduling • Benefits Package • Economically Sustainable

Cons

• Unrealistic workload at the store level. • As a salaried employee, you pick up ALL the slack, and are often the one covering shifts; work/life balance does not exist. • Lack of payroll to support effective operational execution. • Wage disparity across immediate adjacent state lines creates barriers in recruiting. • Opportunities in communication and planning from the top to the field. • Customer demographic lacks social awareness
