Pros

Innovative and challenging work. There are always opportunities to learn new things and build your personal skill set. Work life balance and flexibility are key reasons I'm still with the company. They offer flexibility that cannot be beat.

Cons

Very limited career growth, raises are capped at 10% of your salary. HR red tape is detrimental to individual departments trying to keep their talent satisfied. The benefits are far too expensive for what you get. Look into buying a personal plan before you enroll in ESS benefits program, you will find a better price.

Pros

You work in an office environment so you're pretty much relaxed and can socialize with co-workers to pass time, but there will be A LOT of time spent on the phone. You get to meet some interesting people working here - customers and employees. Feels good to know that you helped a customer in an emergency situation (you will get a lot of these). Higher management really value their employees here, and listen to any suggestions you may have.

Cons

The pay could be better. I wish we got paid commission on certain products or higher bonuses were given. You have to complete these annoying online training classes, a total of like 400. Even though you're title is an Assistant Manager, you don't have any delegating abilities because EVERYONE (except the Store Manager) is an Assistant Manager. You will get hundreds of complaints from customers regarding rent increases and auctioned off units; so you have to have a thick skin about this.
