Pros

Good employee discount, flexible hours as far as school schedule and family time, and some management is really great.

Cons

Some of the other management is not so great, and management is promoted highly based on their relocatability. (willingness to move)

Pros

Always treated with respect by senior staff. I always feel supported and know my store manager will always have my back. It is a friendly, kind, fair, working environment. They treat their customers with respect and do a great job with marketing/promos- getting people into the store to shop.

Cons

It appears that the store operates with minimal staff. As a result, many things get overlooked and fall through the cracks. If done right, these "intangibles" would create a more pleasurable environment for the customer's shopping experience. The store is desperate need of updating. The floors are often dirty, merchandise on selling floors often messy and unorganized, stockrooms and storage areas so clutttered and disorganized that it hinders one's efficiency and ability to do his job. The brands we sell make us too one dimensional-- catering mostly to "mature" (retired) clientele, rather than the "professional" or the younger college student markets . You do not get non-productive time with this company... go to a meeting for a day, it counts against your sales per hour!!! Any time taken off the sales floor jeopardizes your SPH, and therefore your abilty to get a raise. This store is extremely LOW-tech-- terminals are ANCIENT---

Pros

Reasonable staff and hours, decent management if not exceptional, work varied somewhat, enjoyed meeting public and helping people find what they wanted.

Cons

Retail work isn't always easy and this was true. Could have used some more help at times, but understand economic issues.
