Expectations are unrealistic...no work/life balance

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary & benefits are very good. Promotes from within. Training is very comprehensive. Lots of incentives!

Cons

Daily work load is unrealistic. Not enough payroll available for sudden shifts in daily duties. Upper management doesn't seem to plan concept book correctly because every month they change what you've just done within a week. In other words you end up doing "rollout" over every time.

Business Outlook

Pros

Will be recognized if you put in the effort. A lot of transparency between senior staff and associates. Storewide bonuses apply to everyone.

Cons

Oftentimes little diversity so intercultural communication between associates/customers are compromised; associate discounts sometimes equal or less than online/in store promotions

Pros

The company prides itself on everyone using their best judgment, you don't have to look towards a handbook to make decisions, this gives a strong sense of morale throughout the work place.

Cons

There are not many ways to move up, many workers do very little to get by and those that do great rarely get recognized.
