Pros
- People are passionate about providing the best products and experiences. - It's common for PlayPower to promote from within, even from one department to another. - Improved senior leadership in the last few years, from a business standpoint, but tends to make decisions isolated from the common worker.
Cons
- There can be years between pay raises. - Severe understaffing in most departments leads to few people doing most of the work. - Low starting offers for new employees that are not competitive for the industry or the area. - Continual lowering of the budget and department resources with the strict expectation of greater output. - There's no centralized corporate culture which leads to an us vs them mentality amongst the different brands and locations.
