Plus benefits are a scam. When I needed them most they were no help and gave me the run around. We will see if I get refunded every penny I paid for those benefits. This was the worst experience. Why would you offer benefits that can’t even be used?! SCAM

Alexia the assistant manger and whoever the guy is that drives a truck is so rude and unprofessional! The guy came down our street and sat in front of our house while my kids were playing in our cal-de-sac caring our children. When I went to go talk to him he refused to roll his window down and talk to me, saying he could not roll his window down. He also refused to move so our kids could play. I highly recommend to stay away-far away from this place!!

If i could rate this place zero stars I would! Alexia Is beyond rude and has absolutely no respect when it comes to the customers. She will say anything out of her mouth! They destroy your property and don’t fix it, lie about any and everything and overall a horrible company to deal with. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Assistant manager, Alexia is very rude, doesn’t accept when you’re asking for other managers whom you have been dealing with regarding your account. Alexia makes it seem as if she’s the head person of this store and her customer service is not one that I will be dealing with. However Cheyenne and Nick are both amazing and have been extremely understanding of our current situation and is helping us out to the best of their ability! Cheyenne is very kind and understanding she is absolutely amazing!
