Pros

The opportunity to advance quickly.

Cons

Very poor and inexperienced management. Extreme mistrust and poor treatment of employees. Zero work / life balance. The week's work schedule isn't posted until the day before it's start, making it impossible to plan ahead.

Pros

This is a company with heart, that gives back to the community in countless ways. Management is respectful, the training programs are in depth and clear and the expectations are reasonable. The crews in the stores put their hearts into their work and advancement is steady, based on actual ability rather than "time spent" or being drinking buddies with the boss.

Cons

The assignment of managers (store, district, regional) is reactive rather than proactive. Some stores may have as many as 4 different managers during a year which can thwart the team building cycle from performing at peak levels and takes a toll on the morale of the crews at store level.
