Pros

Working from home, so not having to travel or dress up.

Cons

A lot. You are constantly tied to two monitors for 7.5 hours a day. You will be taking a very high volume of calls that are constant and require your full attention. So if you're looking for a job where you can take care of little ones or family members in general, or if you might have any distractions at all, then this is not for you. Regardless that the original job description states flexibility, this is anything but. Attendance is extremely strict, and during working hours you must remain constantly available on your phone and at your computer just as if you're working in the call center. You are not allotted time off for any reason due to the amount of calls that come in, especially during your training. And dr's excuses for sickness, pre-existing conditions, or any other reason are not accepted. The customer service supervisor is young, very cold, unempathetic, cocky, and has a superiority complex. He does not like to be questioned by who he deems to be inferior to him, which is basically anyone under him. This turned out to be a shared consensus among all of us new hires. To be honest, over all the supervisors seem to not like to be bothered at all and do not give the feeling of being approachable. If you have an issue, you're fortunate to receive a response. Favoritism at this company is apparent and unashamedly made very obvious. I can say without a doubt this is one of the worst companies I have ever worked for. Overall feeling is that here, you really are just a number and they couldn't care less about their employee's.

Pros

I learned a lot working there as far as how to run a business as well as how to develop a team. I had one of the most successful teams in the company ranking as the top store year over year in two separate markets, one in the Northeast one in the Southeast. I was a paragon winner with the company as well. My most recent DM was very supportive. I genuinely thank them for the opportunity and the knowledge that I acquired while working with them.

Cons

Work hours were excessive. To be successful hours worked were borderline slavery. While I willingly worked them to be successful, the week you didn't you were immediately behind. Vacations were almost non existent due to constant visitors from corporate stopping in to do reviews. Holiday weeks were paid 4 days regular 1 holiday and you worked all 5. The facade of the stores looking great when these people stop by versus the reality of the business is polarizing. There were always teams of people and excessive expenditures of payroll thrown into stores prior to their visits. While I understood the need to make an appearance, it was always will always be a backwards way off thinking. Company preaches quality of life for their clients while quality of life for their employees is non-existent. As a "manager" in your average store you will be "managing" a total of one person during your shift, with a total of 10 people at location. Location open hours will exceed total payroll hours ie Sun-Sat 7am-10pm = 15hrs per day x 7 days x 2 people = 210 hrs which excludes the need to have a person unload deliveries that come in during non opened hours. Your budgeted hours will be approximately 208 hrs. I will only mention that during the month of December that there are extended hours for the stores but no budgeted hours to accommodate. Stores are held to strict shrink targets with little to no control over external theft. Remember 2 people at location, if four people enter to steal there is nothing you can do to stop them. These are facts not personal prejudices.
