Pros

Base pay and bonuses for managers was above what other competitors offered. Hours required for manager in most part were great Monday - Friday.

Cons

Had to be available 24/7. If employees called out manager had to work. Upper management said they would assist with advancements but when an opportunity came available they failed to live up to their promises. I worked there for 3 years and applied for several Marketing Manager training positions and my ROD and marketing manager both said they would write letters of recommendations but I never received the letters. I never missed a day of work, worked 10 hours plus a day, trained and promoted several of my employees, and increased profits by 43%.

Pros

Benefits such as health/medical insurance

Cons

Massive company. I worked a couple different roles from the “corporate” side, even if I was in stores a lot of the time. One thing I learned is that the “office” or “corporate” roles don’t really have a day off. Sure, it’s a Monday-Friday job but it’s like regardless of what you do there, you’re on call in some way but there isn’t any sort of incentive in return. You’re likely not going to get a sufficient work-life balance working here, because, again, someone is going to be calling or emailing you on the weekend or in the evening where either you have to handle it, or pass it onto someone else who can. Lack of thorough vetting has resulted in unqualified leadership with challenging management styles that hurt daily team morale.
