Pros

The best part is the people you work with in the store. The company was decent to work for when I started three years ago... since then this company is not worth a dime.

Cons

People who make the rules have no idea what is going on in the actual stores and yet are trying to run the place. Schedule and everything is preprogrammed. The General Manager position is pointless everything is laid out by the people in the office. Pre set schedule, no felxiblity, no overtime, and no pay raises even though they require you to do more. The company is chasing pennies instead of dollars. At the rate this company is going they are going to run off all of their good employees.

Pros

Good pay Good benefits Good area Management ie RVP,DL

Cons

The company will not let managers run their stores.We are the head key turner.We used to write our own budgets, staffing templates and got to manage our stores. Now corperate runs the store. They tell us when we work when our team works and what we do each day. Used to have a good quality of life work balance.The hiring process takes too long and is to complicates fro the person applying and for managers to key in.

Pros

decent benefits, company car (charged $51 every two weeks)

Cons

Weekly sales call requirement increased 25% within the past year. Have to make up for missed calls due to company mandated meetings and sick time. Too many reports, spreadsheets and conference calls take away from time in the field, end up working every evening to get it all done. Bonus plan has changed four times in less than 2 years.
