Pros

Location, Coworkers, onsite cafeteria, friendly front desk / reception staff, support staff (office services, etc), free parking, proximity to commuter boats

Cons

Management (all levels) is so concerned with their own stature and filling their pockets. They don't seem to care who they step on to get up the ladder and fill that wallet. Hiring and keeping "entitled" staff who fit the physical mold but don't have the ability to pull their weight has been an issue for years. Very sad, because this is a company that used to be the place people wanted to work at... now it's the place people can't wait to leave. Disapproval of the CEO harkens back to TS. That's where it all went downhill.

Pros

Fun, and upbeat work environment

Cons

Corporate is extremely tone deaf. Posting videos of redoing offices while also being known for never giving raises to staff. Outlet is drowning and doesn’t get the appreciation they truly deserve for being the hardest working in the whole company. Corporate also does a lot of gaslighting ex: saying this is what everyone wanted but couldn’t be farther from what everyone wanted.
