Pros

Almost impossible to get fired, pay is decent, benefits are ok.

Cons

Not enough labor, managers have to do everything, inconsistent and unrealistic leaders at the district level and higher, run by terrible senior leadership, poor work schedule provides almost no work/life balance, need to know someone high up or be a “favorite” to advance, don’t value higher education in the store level employees, and worst of all an absolutely terrible program called Frontier.

Great work life balance and collaborative team environment. Direct managers are supportive and approachable which makes day to day work enjoyable. There are good opportunities to grow, especially if you are proactive about building skills and taking initiative

Cons

Recent restructuring and multiple rounds of layoffs created some uncertainty across teams

Pros

I love my team so much and we have some regular patients that are amazing.

Cons

Well I'm supposed to be full time but the last few weeks in feeling barely 30 hours a week. We have staff and no hours, customers are hateful. We're exhausted.
