Pros

What used to be a great company led by Leaders interested in building a "Compelling Place to Work" has been replaced by a team with out clear direction and Leadership styles that compel employee loyalty.

Cons

A long list of take-aways: 401K match; 2009 Merit Increases for Management throughout North America; reduction of Health Benefits, Bonus Opportunity gone; Stock Options that have flipped completely upside down. However, the most serious downside is the atmosphere of fear that pervades that company. Employees at all levels have been required to sign up and shout the Mantra "Delivering Winning Solutions that Inspire Work Life". But the reality is the direction we've been led makes little sense, and it is professionally challenging to deliver discretionary effort in this current environment.

Pros

There are no pros to working for this company.

Cons

Low pay, grueling hours, unsafe and toxic work environment. The company does not offer opportunities for its sore employees to advance to the corporate sector; especially if you have a college degree. As a store employee neither you, your expertise and skill set, nor your ideas on how to improve workflow and company culture matter.
