Pros

The health benefits, salary and bonus structure are superior to most in the market. The working environment is casual and comfortable. Its conveniently located to the Tollway. There are some very intelligent hardworking people who make the company successful.

Cons

The way the departments are set up, someone has to die before advancement can happen. Or, you must have a close relationshiop with the VP or senior management to advance. Many unqualified people were promoted based on friendships rather than ability to do the job well. The intelligent and hardworking people are the ones carrying the company, but usually with little chance to advance within one department. Associates have a better chance at advancement by leaving the department they currently work for and transferring to another. Some even leave the company to advance and then return at a higher level.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
