Pros

Some fun people, great discount

Cons

Extremely negative corporate structure, terrible annual review process, executives are unable to roll up sleeves and get anything done so the only way for them to show value is to criticize, executives all cower in the presence of C-suite and mistreat their team, no team has agency over their own work so they are constantly repeating work at the whim of anyone else in any other department who criticizes it.

Pros

Very black & white on policies. You always know what is right or wrong.Operationally strong company that allows movement between brands. Decent pay if you advocate for yourself as an external, but don’t expect much once you’re in.

Cons

Company has changed direction so much since COVID. Seems like there’s no clear idea on who we are anymore.Senior leadership feels like a revolving door that only succeeds in spinning tires with no traction. We love to initiate something only to either sunset it months later or leave it in limbo(WellPro). The amount of stress pushed on stores to meet credit goals is absurd to the point it inspires unethical behaviors in certain stores.
