Pros

$100 a month smoothie king gift card, lots of great corporate benefits like great health care, HR engagement perks, free samples. Strong mission and vision and a quality product you can stand behind.

Cons

Overworked and understaffed the entire time I was there. Could never hire help. Owner implements strict work environment when sales are down like work from home days reduced for the whole company, no flexible work schedule, hiring freeze, no bonuses, promotions or raises. No room to grow with in the company.

Pros

Great support network, leadership teams at support center are always available to answer questions.

Cons

One challenge was the hiring process. At times, filling key positions could be difficult due to lengthy approval processes and multiple layers of review, which occasionally slowed the ability to staff stores as quickly as business needs required. Streamlining hiring decisions and giving field leaders more flexibility to recruit and onboard talent would help improve operational efficiency and support growth.
