Pros

They tend to pride themselves as having a high bar to get in but some of the Senior Management (Director +) are a joke and how they got to that level is a suprise to most people. Nice Gym Like the idea of being able to have a high concentration within one campus Close to lots of restaurants

Cons

There is so much politics it is ridiculous in order to move up. Promotions are not based on results but rather being best buddy with manager and there is so much instability with management if you happen to get momentum you will have a new manager that will not have any history on you. Compensation is far below the market in the same industry for similar job. A lot of focus on levels as a way to get things pushed. Claim to be about front line people engagement, however only a few areas actually live this and rest is lip service. Exodus of people close to happening like did before when people left to competition. Playing favorites is common here: a few select few (not actually any better) will get promoted every year to 2 years, the rest will never move up and those moving up will give foolish reasons why others shouldn't.

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.
