Don't expect to make this a career

Operations manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

flexible schedule, great benefits. That's about it.

Cons

TERRIBLE management. No matter how much you put in to this company don't expect to get anything out of it. The pay is 20% less than the competition. (one of my close friends works for CPS in the same position). Attitude in the company are also terrible. Branches treat each other like competition instead of working together under the Wilbur Ellis name. And managers treat their employees like dirt. Everyone is beneath them and they don't let you forget it.

Rehire is not always a good thing

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and pay. Glad to see there are so many highly tenured employees here, as I'm relatively new given the time my coworkers have been here.

Cons

Rehiring the exec admin to the CEO has been a nightmare. I only know she was rehired as she said she was with us before. She is demeaning, negative, and bordering on hostile to employees who have been with us regardless if they have been there 1 day or 10 years. I feel like I can't speak up without getting her to turn her wrath on me. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.
