Pros

Awesome employee's to work with and the discount.

Cons

Upper management is horrible, if you are not a brown noser then beware....they will find a reason to fire you. Never speak your mind or stand up for yourself/co-workers because that will get you fired also. Managers act like they listen to problems and say they will look into things but they DON'T. I had to listened to some many lie's from management that it turned my stomach.

Pros

Paid weekly. Not a bad health/dental plan.

Cons

Where to begin? Lack of ANY formal management training at the senior management level. It is assumed that once you are promoted to Lead, that you will be able to function adequately in upper management. Simple tasks, such as scheduling, seem to be beyond the capabilities of several of the GSMs (not surprising since the average age of the GSMs is about 25). The environment used to be quite nice; however, now it is one of fear and poor morale since the arrival of the new GM. Arbitrary decisions by management that is not based upon written Company policies. Poor technical support and resources. Management puts on the appearance of "listening" to its associates, but only about trivial matters like replacing microwaves, not about real issues concerning the store and its personnel or customers. Poor acknowledgement of associates performance.
