Pros

Of my 12 years at OD, the company has always been committed to the employees and more importantly the customer. Its too easy for faceless people to criticize a company just based on stock price. There are so many factors that affect the health of a company, and most are beyond the companies control. I have always felt valued and that my efforts are valued and rewarded. Spend some quality time in a store, talk to the staff, and you will see what I mean.

Cons

Is there room for improvement? Absolutely, but I feel the company knows what those opportunities are and is committed to that improvement. Are there bad employees, stores, and managers? Sure, but again the company faces those issues, doesnt try to hide them, and is active to address them.

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.
