Pros

Compensation is pretty comparable to the area

Cons

Performance management is killer. If you have an all-star team they will try to find any little imperfection in your work to grade you lower. If you don' have a manager that will stick their neck out for you, prepare to get PIP'd ( they also tend to PIP newer folks due to politics rather than actually try to onboard them). Working while management is breathing down your neck has made the culture extremely toxic here. If you want to survive here, be prepared to play the politics game-work has become increasingly secondary here

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.
