Good+friendly management, sufficient training, lots of nice people to work+make friends with. When I requested more hours but my department couldn't offer much more, they accommodated by having me work in additional departments which I appreciated.

Only complaint I have is that when they have past or current employees of their company looking for work, they offer them a job at their branch of choice -- even if that branch then has to take away from other employees' hours in order to accommodate. On the one hand, I get it, it's kind and encourages employee loyalty, but it's also unfair to the people already working there whose hours suddenly get sacrificed.

The place was overall great to work at though, and they otherwise made an effort to be flexible with hours, so I'd still recommend it.

Typical day sticks to the same routine, management is detail oriented and expects the same. Hustle mentality expected at all times. Expect lots of home office visits.
