Pros

Beautiful facility. Good salary and perks.

Cons

I was in the IT Department in Kerrville. The IT Dept uses old technology and did not welcome any ideas. Project Management was poor. Lack or planning caused delays and confusion. I was laid off but was never given a reason. I did not know what to tell the EDD. Work Force Commission of Texas told me that they did not get any response from JA HR regarding my termination. The HR rep told me upon termination (with a smile) that I could continue to use my Employee Discount Card at JA stores even as an non employee. But later they told me I could not when I contacted them.

Pros

Supportive manager, no sales goal, focus on customer service, nice discount for employees

Cons

It’s still an hourly retail job which means random work hours and working on weekends

Pros

It can be decent pay

Cons

Other than getting a pay check I can't think of anything here that is a Pro. Lousy culture, lousy people, management sucks, benefits suck, the Avery family is hoity toity.
