      Metric focused corporate

      Sales manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -decent benefits -paternity/maternity leave from the start -laid back environment in most aspects

      Cons

      -corporate only cares about the front end conversion, email, warranty, and membership capture. This is so bad it's to the point where our new store has shown consistent improvement but I was forced to give an associate a disciplinary action because they're not hitting targets. -shady pricing with the "new lower price" pricing. They almost never actually change price.
