Pros

Benefit costs are good - compensation is average We're rewarded with tokens to redeem for Walmart gift cards. I'm leaving the first chance I get.

Cons

Let's see... run by 2 incompetent brothers that hire a third brother for all the contracting work Penny wise, pound foolish No one knows how to do anything with the websites Much of what truly goes on is hidden from corporate thanks to the insane nepotism GMs constantly cave under corporate pressure, despite "being in complete agreement" and them giving you their "full support" Outsiders are treated with more credibility than their employees telling them the same thing Run their employees ragged and there is no cross training, so you just absorb people's jobs when they leave with no additional compensation.

Pros

Work Life Balance and facilities.

Cons

Compensation was horrible. Management was misguided. The brand continues to stagger causing a very stressed and unmotivated environment where many teams can't get along. The culture is quite lazy. Talent is sub-par.
