Pluspunten

Amazing people within this company while I believe a bit of kool aid has been served in gallon containers. Training is good but not practical for real sellers with real experience. So profitable they are buying back their own stock. After 6 years you will be fully vested.

Minpunten

Micro managers who have been with the company for far too long to be effective. Who wants to work for someone who can't remember how to do your job? Too much like working for the government, tracking your every move and every phone call etc. Pay scale is unfair if you live in a smaller area. Do Not Believe them when they say they can't pay you more! They can and they do if you negotiate a better salary! They are not a transparent company at all, you will never know the real price of anything. Also their TSR program is a farce! You are disposable! , in fact if you can stay over 2 years now as an AM you are doing good. Also, You will never be promoted unless you have a manager who is willing to replace you and it ALL depends on your DSM!

Pluspunten

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Minpunten

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
