Pros

Relaxed environment Nice people Pay is decent for the industry Advancement opportunities

Cons

Upper management sometimes has a disconnect between what they think should be done and what actually can be done, they also seem to lack of understanding in some of the newer technologies that the company uses. A few years back the company got a new inventory management system to make stocking products easier. Instead of using this to increase the quality of work they try to use it to get the same stuff done with less people. This simply does not work because you need a base line amount of people to keep the inventory system maintained and when it is maintained it works amazing but it is cheaper to work fewer people harder I suppose. Can't say for sure if this is true but I was told a big contributing factor to this is that Store Directors get bonuses for keeping costs down... including labor. I left shortly after a new store director is hired though so maybe these problems will be solved.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
