Pros

-VERY flexible schedule (helps to balance my full-time education) -many opportunities to learn and given a lot of responsibility/learning experiences with outside deliveries and computer knowledge -decent pay for part-time/college student -love love love the work culture (everyone is pretty down to earth, get along despite our differences, and many of us are friends outside of work

Cons

-transition to full time would be difficult given the little pay for certain roles -when hiring a new manager at our location, they favored a friend of the district manager (who worked at a different location and had bad metrics) instead of the person that went above and beyond for sales (and already worked at that location).

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
