Pros
I choose when and how long I will work, for the most part and up to a certain "time budget". It's a privately owned company so that we are not as affected by the stock market changes as some. The product is well known and considered high quality.
Cons
Cutting of hours and accounts. Also, immediate supervisor is lacking computer skills and still sends dozens of voice mails and sometimes even a voice mail to tell us she has sent an email. The senior supervisor seems to be unaware of how things really are in the field. Additionally, sales reps send in product that is unneeded and does not sell then does not allow us to write credit to take it out of the stores. Communication between management levels is lacking. Computer training should be beefed up. We are not allowed to get rid of merchandisers who are not up to par, but are chastised when those merchandisers perform poorly. Vacations were eliminated this year as was certain retirement benefits.
