Pros

If you luck out and get a facility that is 70% or more full, you’re essentially just a janitor and part time sales person. It’s nice to leave the facility for errands as most of your day is spent there so that’s a plus as long as you have a car. The higher up corporate folks do drop in often so that’s nice to see them more or less on the ground floor.

Cons

Far too much stress for what you’re paid, there’s little work life balance even though their company totes that’s a major benefit. You’re 100% required to be there 5-6 days a week 9am-6pm not including extra time to come in early for web meetings and not to mention when you’re short staffed and customers non stop call and knock on the door. It’s a downright dirty business that asks you to prioritize money over all else. If you’re okay with that kind of thing, this is your spot. My coworkers cleaned up human feces weekly for a little over $18 an hour and called it a great job with work life balance. To each their own. I happened to be there at a time when they were doing a trial run of Sunday hours, essentially prioritizing money over staffs sanity. You’re also only allowed to request one Saturday off a month. No one gets two days off in a row.

Pros

Good consideration of their employees, and good standard pay

Cons

They say you are getting a raise or getting paid more but its actually the standard pay they give starting off they just want current employees to feel accomplished with the illusion of it so they are trying to catch you up to that pay, and no actual room for growth do to hierarchy standards,
