Pros

This job taught me how to say no and stand up for myself. I learned how to run an office and make an impact on my community. I love working here. My team is amazing and there is support from every level if you ever need to talk. Always felt safe and supported and that they really cared about my professional development. Even when I was stressed and backed into a corner I still felt confident and knew I could always get help from my district manager.

Cons

Do not work for this company if you are a push over. You have to be ready every day to encounter confrontation and if you are shy this is not the job for you. Do not expect help from corporate because dear god they are inept so be ready to solve your own problems - if you’re an intelligent person this will not be an issue. If you become short staffed be prepared to work every position extremely quickly.
