Pros

The pay is great compared to similar jobs. The benefits are good, but the employer match for 401k was just discontinued. The facilities look good to someone who doesn't work there. Store has lots of potential to make money.

Cons

The management comunicates very poorly with employees, no matter how many unnecessary meetings are held. Complaints are ignored or not delt with in a timely manner. Dishonest employees are allowed to do whatever they please. The work environment is overall negative. The facilites look good on the outside, but are poorly constructed and cheap. Performance reviews are not realistic.

Pros

The department is work from home.

Cons

They do not provide any equipment/laptops and make you pay for your own virus protection. Extreme micromanagement leaves employees with little autonomy and creates unnecessary stress. Frequent layoffs and high turnover. Inconsistent scheduling and long hours, including recurring 10-14 hour days yet ending the week with no overtime. Employees are blamed for slow business conditions they cannot control. Unpaid on-call expectations when the work load is low. Low compensation relative to workload. Management often complains about having to answer employee questions, creating an environment where people feel discouraged from seeking guidance or clarification. Employees are treated as replaceable rather than valued contributors.
