Pros

Great perks as an Area Leader with all expenses paid car, laptop, phone and business expenses.

Cons

Long hours. Unreasonable workload with limited resources. Upper levels of management are completely disconnected from the day to day realities. Company has been through THREE reduction in forces in the last 9 years and follows the same cycle of reduction and then hiring and creating new positions about 1 year after each RIF event.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
