Pros
If you have no qualifications and want to promote its a great place to work. Its the land of "opportunity" meaning you don't really need to use your head when you do anything. There is a book for everything.
Cons
Upper management lacks qualifications to be in Loss Prevention and most of them have little or no experience in it. There is always legal boundaries that make it hard to do your job. They went to a no handcuff policy in July of 2010 which made the job really unsafe. The company is "by the book" and does not allow managers to manage. when I was in the Orange county area my MAPM (market asset Protection manager) was a previous co-manager in a store which does nothing with LP. Then they promoted her to a regional within three years somehow. She never backed her employees and had no ability to develop them.
