Pros

Co workers, nice office, easy job if you can tolerate being disrespected.

Cons

There is no transparency on our attainment for bonus. It is obviously manipulated at upper managements discretion. From the VP down they have the attitude of "If you don't like it, find another job". It is ridiculous how they expect morale and energy from the sales force yet everything they do kills morale. They allow almost no SPIFF's and offer virtually no monetary motivation to sell more, they seem to prefer to threaten and demand rather than create a results oriented culture. I find it humorous that they post the OD "values" on the walls but all they do is make a mockery of them. Integrity, laughable. Accountability, only for the sales people. Innovation, well we do have Salesprism.... LOL. Teamwork, sales people work together because the managers are worthless. Respect, yes, a total lack of it.

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.
