Pros

First line associates are always put first and field leaders and above truly take the time to listen to concerns and ideas and work towards addressing those concerns. Truly takes the idea of continuous improvement to heart through the eyes of the associate experience.

Cons

Simplicity is a strong suit for the company however sometimes the simplicity when it comes to the technology gets in the way. We are still growing as a company and we’ve made significant improvements in this area and we are continuing to move through updates to outdated equipment.
