Pros

Stock options, gym at the corporate office.

Cons

Your skills are not as important as you obedience to the founders. Fear based company culture. The more profits the company makes the more benefits/ perks the company takes away from the employees. They stretch their employees to do the work of 2-3 people. Work-life balance does not exist and nor do they care. If they see you can handle the work of 2 or 3 people they will not push to get any help for you. It’s now the expectation. Meetings on weekends are not rare. Working late hours are normal. Promotions? Also rare and not worth the humiliating hoopla you have to go through to get one. Human Resources have no power in how to handle toxicity this company. I’d rethink joining this company… Your soul is in jeopardy.

Cons

Holy moly where do even I start? If you end up on the wrong team good luck because you’ll be doing FARRRR beyond your “job description”. The more you move up in this company the more they’ll stress the hell out of you, and you can’t pretend to hide it because that stress rains down to the daily staff running each location. AMs, GMs, ACOs, ect. are even honest about it and that they are exhausted and have strict deadlines to meet. I’ve even known and worked for people who have intentionally demoted themselves due to this. Also I would say the company comes across overall as pretty racist against black ppl. It could just be my location but then again the company claims it promotes diversity and inclusivity- which to an extent is true. I have had both a gay ACO and Latina ACO and work with people from all different backgrounds, disabilities and walks of life ect. BUT you RARELYYYY and I mean IF EVER see Black people in management or higher up positions. Don’t believe me? Go ahead and Panda’s Linked In. You’ll RARELY if EVER see a black ACO or RCO…
