Pros
Debt free company and benefits.
Cons
Payroll reductions have added stress to the daily routine, managers are not “managing,” rather than doing heavy tasks to get operational and merchandising tasks finished. The company used to be focued on your family/life balance, and and recently made the decision to stay open on thanksgiving, something they long said they wouldn’t do. They added to Sunday hours, and are open 2 hours past a normal Sunday closing time and customers are not coming in. The current CEO doesn’t share the same values as the previous and is concentrated on the numbers. A lot of turnover at the corporate level, and well as in the field makes it difficult to have some sort of consistency within the stores. They make poor decisions during our peak business time, and have a wonky POS system, that is always going down during the busiest of times. The focus on values and culture has changed to a focus of speed and tempo (aka you do more with less). I find It tough to stay positive and to promote positivity when the reality is the job is tough, and getting worse as time goes on.
