Pros
Great discount! Benefits are fine. Great conference for GMs every year.
Cons
Expectations at store level are specific from upper management. Upper management does not uphold their own expectations. Using possible promotions and advancement to encourage GMs to take on stretch assignments without extra pay. These stretch assignments usually are done on own time. Store payroll cannot support such assignments and corporate knows this. Corporate has reputation for not following thru and helping GMs get to next. Actually going externally to fill positions without internal associates being aware of possible positions or ignoring request for interview or following up on interviews held. Sometimes 3 interviews are done and then when the company decides to go in a different direction the respect for loyalty is not given back to associate. However an interviewing guide for store level contradicts what actually happens. That's just one example of do as I say not as I do.
