Pros

Good employees, bad district managers.

Cons

Without a doubt, the most unethical company I have ever worked for. The upper management that I worked for was very shady. I was asked to do things that were borderline illegal. In 25 years in the industry, this was the most depressing job I have ever held. No work/life balance, low pay for managers, and executives who were not engaged at all except when there was trouble.

Pros

The Pros are really not there for this company. I personally have no idea how I wasted such a larger amount of time at a company that promotes untalented, unintelligent HACKs for leadership.

Cons

Management, is old and has no vision of the future. They are NOT collaborative and only care about the person above them!

Pros

Plenty of room for advancement. Excellent opportunities for learning other sectors of management via cross training. Meritorious raises based on level of skills.

Cons

There are strong overtures of "preference of employees" not based upon work ethics or personal abilities to perform duties.
