Pros

MOD's Todd, Jeremy and Glenn are amazing!! Employees are great as well. Everyone kept a positive attitude during trying times.

Cons

Scheduling issues, FES not notified of schedule changes of cashiers which is impairative to operations, not staggering scheduled times to cover store hours, store opens at 8:00 am no cashiers until 10:00 am during December the busiest time of year. Manager doesn't answer pages and is rarely available when on the premises. I've worked in retail since 1987 and have never seen such a lack of communication and organization. The worst Manager I have ever worked with. I do however have to add that Todd, Jeremy and Glenn three of the MOD's are an asset and this store clearly runs because of their dedication. It has been brought to the Managers attention numerous times of many issues and they have yet to be addressed or resolved. I was recently threatened with my job. I was a top performer in Insider cards, August Customer Service Award etc...my Manager waited until another store Manager was off Skype to threaten my employment. Is this company policy!?!? No its not and very unprofessional. I have had serious medical issues and he was well aware of this. I have provided Doctors notes and this has since been resolved.
