Business Outlook

Pros

Hanes provided excellent benefits for employees. The products the Company produce are quality goods for a diverse market of consumers. The Company stands behind their name & goods and strives to keep consumers happy at all cost.

Cons

Working nights, holidays, & weekends a lot. Very strict policies. Often change policies once policies are established. Promote diversity but isn't really diverse in upper management.

It was a good place to work for the most part but the drama got old.

Business Outlook

Pros

The experience I gained from there. It was an enjoyable job for the most part when there was a good manager.

Cons

The corporate aspect could get a little old. There was a lot of drama. Also when the old manager moved the assistant manager became manager we suffered from the lack of experience. Like not dealing with problems because she didn't want confrontation. She would prioritize her personal friendships over professionalism.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you enjoy working with customers its a good place. There where opportunities to travel through your region to help other stores.

Cons

To move up to a higher volume store, the pay wasn't worth it. To many times management would have to work by themselves.
