Pros

Great way to network and meet interesting people. Hours can be good and room for advandcement. My GM who just became Regional manager is GREAT. Cares about staff and well being.

Cons

Company expects high quality employees yet pay them like the average joe. A lot of customers in this workplace with egos out of this world (although, some are above spactacular!) They have me a few hours under full time, I think its because of insurance and all that jazz.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible schedule. Was able to balance school, work & a personal life. Started as a front desk employee, ended as top salesman/assistant operations manager.

Cons

Lack of consistency as far as staff goes. I worked there for almost four years and the turnover was ridiculous. Seems like there was new management every 15-18 months. Staff turnover was even quicker.
