Pros

Benefits Package and that's it.

Cons

Remote/hybrid isn't a policy, it's a coin flip. Whether you can work from home depends entirely on your individual manager, because leadership gives zero guidance or oversight. Same company, same role, completely different rules. If your job involves travel, the unwritten expectation is a 7-day work week. No accountability above you. Managers stack project on project with no one checking the load or what it does to people. "Family-friendly" and "mental-health-friendly" are recruiting lines, not reality. Reasonable asks — like working from home to offset the heavy work load to be present for your kids — get a flat no with no rationale or the "we are discussing" knowing that it will be no. Newer leaders run their teams harder, and burnout sets in fast. The culture you're sold is not the culture you'll live.

Pros

There were no pros at all.

Cons

My experience at the Frisco location was largely negative due to the store leadership team, headed by Stacie Sorenson. I found the management approach to be unsupportive and at times created a stressful work environment. I often felt singled out and treated differently because of my background and appearance, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome during my internship. Pay was not competitive compared to similar employers. Scheduling was often inconsistent and difficult to plan around. In my experience, HR tended to support store leadership rather than adequately addressing employee concerns. The quality of the internship experience varies greatly depending on the store and management team. There can be resentment from some employees toward interns, particularly from those who were interested in the program but were not selected. Communication, mentorship, and support were not at the level I expected from a company that promotes its internship program so heavily.
