Pros

The hourly employees are all great, hardworking people and are great to work with. The culture is so fun. Great work/life balance.

Cons

The company pays people the very lowest on their internal pay bands, which are already low. They often go back on their word when it comes to compensation or incentives and don't acknowledge why. They are for themselves first and foremost, even though they continuously say the employees are their passion. They ask employees to put in 110% with the bare minimum in recognition and rewards, other than a weekly lunch. They say they promote from within, but they pay external candidates far more than internal promotions. They don't value their employees. They say a lot of things, but their actions never measure up. Absolutely zero transparency and poor communication.

Pros

They have a true open door policy and are willing to humanize themselves to make sure it's understood.

Cons

No cons unless you just don't want to work. Every job has rules and a culture to maintain and protect Living Spaces is no different. But close mouths don't get fed either.

Pros

Strong brand presence and great place to develop thick skin

Cons

- "Sink or Swim" Management: Managers here don’t train or guide; they throw you into the deep end of the sea and expect you to figure complex systems out entirely on your own. If you fail, the blame is placed squarely on you rather than their lack of onboarding or support. No one is truly there to help you. - Toxic Culture & Gossip: The workplace environment is highly toxic, driven by a rampant gossip culture. Instead of professional collaboration, the office feels dominated by cliques, backstabbing, and high-school drama that stems right from leadership. - Favoritism Over Merit: Promotions and recognition are entirely based on favoritism and politics rather than performance, hard work, or tenure. If you aren't playing the corporate game or in the inner circle, your career growth will stall completely. - Power Trips & Heavy Workload: Management consistently operates on power trips, demanding unrealistic expectations. The workload is incredibly unreasonable, leading to severe burnout with zero regard for work-life balance.
