Business Outlook
Pros
Excellent training programs. Constructive feedback given in a professional manner. Upper management (DM, RD, TMD, etc.) were all supportive and offered help and ideas to achieve goals. Plenty of opportunity for growth and advancement. Company worked with associates to determine the appropriate 'fit" in the organization. Very good benefit package.
Cons
It's retail, so hours worked and store opening hours can be challenging and long. Pay scale was acceptable, but could be improved. Yearly pay raises were almost offensive, usually maxing out around 3%. Sales goals could sometimes appear highly unreachable, especially during economic downturns. Therefore, quarterly bonuses were not often reached. Needs better work/life balance.
