Pros

Amazing product Great team members and people within the business Great employe benefits, some of the best I've seen

Cons

Absolutely toxic leadership who add absolutely no value and constantly talk down to employees, not only own team but supporting teams and feel untouchable due to the relationship they have between one another. Most of their involvement is to question where deals are without adding any value and will make sly comments or talk down, even to the most senior team members with a proven track record. This issue is not only at the middle management level but starts from the very top. Comms rate extremely below the market

Pros

Good benefits though you likely won’t be there long enough to use them

Cons

During the interview you will be told that you can grow with the company. That as long as you’re coachable and highly driven you’ll have the space to learn and grow. I cannot even begin to go in to how poor the onboarding process is. It’s a joke. Management is vaping on important meetings while telling you how behind you are because you actually did the onboarding tasks. Only after you do them you’re told they weren’t mandatory. You’re then immediately expected to out perform people who have been in the job over two years which ofc is impossible and thus you’ll be let go. The company shared with me that they are in a transitional period when I came in and boy could I tell because not one process here was functional. The team as a whole was extremely behind. Basically it’s all promise and no execution which is just plain disappointing. Work at McDonald’s over this place.
