Pros

-Flexibility -Good training -If you have S-tier good people its easy

Cons

-No work/life balance -Work 18-40k for free every year -Extreme lack of support from corporate. They know the issues but because people still work for them there's no change. -Low payroll and no real metric on how you get it. It's based of store size not sales or workload like they say. -Low pay keeps good employees away. -All your vendors or reps make they same or more than you do. Go work for them.

Pros

If you like being in a stuffy outdated office 5 days per week like it's the 1990s this place is for you. HR just killed the company culture.

Cons

Only 2 weeks of paternal leave and 2 months of maternal leave Only 2 weeks of PTO which is absolutely insane to me Senior Directors choose to not follow the return to office policy. This place is full of lifers who want to sit around, do nothing, and get a break during the day from their families. This is the prime example of a dying zombie company.
