Pros

benefits are good and on par with marketplace physical workplace environment is very good salary compensation if coming from outside is comparable or above market however, once you are inside the compensation process is extremely slow and does not keep pace coworkers are among some of the best people

Cons

performance management process leaves much to be desired little chance for promotion unless have management support favors youthful go getters willing to work long hours (60-100 plus hrs per week) can "try" next level role without pay or title change 6-18 months and still not get promotion if management does not agree or they eliminate role/department work life balance doesn't truly exist below management level open culture only works if you agree; woe to those who question you'll find yourself moved out

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
