Disappointing, stagnant career, based on false promises.

Pros

Small teams, not a lot of red tape. You do get to experience a full range of experiences since we work on a skeleton crew. Employees are generally kind and has a comraderie type of environment.

Cons

After working there 5 yrs, I've been "promised" several times opportunities for growth. I've excelled in all my reviews and work 50hrs a week yet only make 5k more than I did when I started. The company expects you to pay for your own hotel and food/expenses when traveling. They pay you back after the trip.

Pros

Besides a paycheck and insurance, there really was nothing to keep me with this company.

Cons

Area (mid-level) managers were left to run the store in the absence of our store manager. She constantly came in late, left early - if she showed up at all. And, when we got a bad store review she wrote all of her mid-level managers up for not running the store right. WHAT???? Insanity. We (mid-level managers) had put up with a lot, but this just totally pushed us over the edge. I am absolutely disgusted with what we were put through. This company is totally unethical and unprofessional. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. I feel sorry for the poor hourly people that work there. Morale is awful in the store. When I tried to bring up these issues to our corporate human resources office, I was interviewed by our regional operations manager at our store and was told "put my big girl britches on" and basically deal with it. I have never been around such unprofessional people in my entire 15+ years in retail management.
