Dysfunctional company; highly political and unskilled senior management

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It was a paycheck; You are better off lying low and doing nothing to survive.

Cons

Company profit totally focused on selling franchises; franchisees pay fees and receive little benefit. Marketing and Product management is a nonstrategic joke. Most talented associates have quit. One of htose companies that talk about their "values" while everyone from the top down tries to out maneuver one another

A total waste of time

Senior paralegal

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Literally none. They talk a great game but absolutely do not back up their words with actions.

Cons

It took them 2 weeks to provide me with the tools to do my job and provided no training. I hadn’t even been properly trained when they let me go after only having my tools for one week. There’s absolutely no way they could even have a sense of how well I could contribute but they wasted my time and a ton of money jerking me around.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some benefits are good, peers are great, stable company.

Cons

Medical benefits are not good at all as self funded plan, goal is to keep costs low, so this isn't the place to work if you are looking for a decent plan. CEO is one of the highest paid in industry, and the company is thriving, but continued cutbacks to save money, talent, bonus, wage increases, have impacted the entire culture of the company. Beware, things are not always as they seem!
