Pros
As a corporate employee: Other young LDP’s in the office are nice and relatable. A couple of leadership members are great, but the one that calls the shots is a puppet for Joe Galli. As a rep: Pay is fair as a rep right out of school Company truck
Cons
As a rep, there are few opportunities to really use your degree. This job can be done by someone with no education. You are a glorified store associate and have to work against the store’s staff to get what TTI wants done, and doesn’t usually see eye to eye with what the store would like. This creates a lose lose scenario. In the office setting (bentonville), culture is very bi-polar. It’s fun to have a corporate setting with co-workers that are your age and share the misery of having been a rep, but management is very profit driven and have no regard for the overall culture of the employees in the office. I was hired to the office when sales had been bad, and they knew that when they gave me the ‘promotion’. I was given added work load with high expectations, and barely a lift pay compared to when I was a rep, but the company truck was taken. After a couple months of continued declining overall sales (which were due to consumer spending, not a lack of efforts in the employees, higher management thought the best course of action to save the company money was to lay off employees that helped manage the backbone of the business. I hope saving them a couple of $60k salaries really moves the needle on being down millions. Look elsewhere if you’re looking for an actual career, as this company is every man for themselves and everyone puts on a mask.
