Pros

Offers corporate employees remote and hybrid schedules. Tendency to overpay corporate employees since it’s based out of New York.

Cons

CFO takes advantage of and bullies subordinates, especially minorities. Assigns work to unqualified associates, even those that don’t work in her department. Associates are afraid to speak out because of the retaliation that HR hides. A lot of turn over, which is why the interview process is so easy.

Pros

Competitive salary. Generous PTO and vacation accrual. Good benefits package. Opportunities for growth and development.

Cons

Ongoing management turnover and staffing shortages. Difficulty hiring enough managers to properly support the business. The culture the company promotes no longer feels as strong as it once did, resulting in a less positive work environment.
