Pros

Dental benefits! Takes two years to get tho...

Cons

Some management seem to constantly throw employees "under the bus" to make themselves appear better... Bullying from upper management on store level... "going to have to start getting rid of people if they hit a display and damage it."

Pros

My fellow employees. We were all in it together. Some awesome bosses, friendly and caring, but few and far between Learned outstanding customer service skills Looking back, I enjoyed my 12 years as an employee, but it was definately a job and not a career. Steady work, 40 hours whenever I wanted it. I loved doing back-to-back shifts. It's a job, not a daycare.

Cons

I was told by a number of managers (and wanna-be managers) that the company did not want them to be friendly to the employees, and some of them excelled at doing what the company wanted. The few "leaders" I actually met in my 12 years there often went on to other jobs. When the District Managers would show up, the store manager would panic and insist on employees running around to make sure the store looked good. Are you kidding?? This is a good indication that managment by fear is coming from the top.

Pros

Gain valuable experience and insight. Good people. Opportunities to be promoted to higher levels within company.

Cons

Pay scale could more at assistant buyer and planner level. Many assistants take their great training to other companies that off higher pay.
