Pros

Environment allows an employee to perform at the best of their abilities. Self-determination is rewarded and respected. Micro-management is not common. The leadership communicates routinely and effectively via a number of channels. Our vision, values and goals are clearly articulated. Those that do not feel as though they are valued are externalists and feel this or any other company owes them something vs. an internalist that realizes they need to provide solutions and ideas that will contribute to the company's success.

Cons

It is a large company with many divisions, departments and responsibilities. At times it can be overwhelming with respect to all the moving parts, pieces and initiatives.

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.
