Pros

A true hybrid schedule (3 days in office, two days remote). I have experienced roles fully onsite and fully remote and hybrid has been the best of both worlds. Of course, with life incidents there was flexibility the days you were on site. I never felt micromanaged and the environment was not toxic. However, there was stress given the uncertainty of the company and of course during understaffed times. Nevertheless, I was given a lot of independence to accomplish my tasks. The individuals in charge of the company culture, did put effort to come up with events allowing people from different departments to meet, or simply engage with your coworkers. -Medical benefits were available

Cons

-Cafeteria was taken down due to the hybrid schedule and to reduce costs -Very low raises, almost did not make a salary difference -No bonuses, no 401K, no HSA, no promotions. All the above did take place given the low profitability of the company, but the overall environment was a positive an made the lack of such benefits bearable, at least for a while.

Pros

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Cons

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
