      Excellent place to get trained on business analysis, buy planning, and demand forecasting

      Pros

      advancement opportunity is very good. There is great synergy within the buying office community that enables good communication and drives results.

      Cons

      I would say that if you dont want to work in a conservative culture, that is very old school in its way of viewing work life balance, then this isn't the place for you. if you like competition, and working hard and putting work first, you will do very well.

      Pros

      Employees get paid weekly, not bi-weekly. The dress code is relaxed for the most part, kind of conservative though. Employees enjoy great discounts for themselves AND family.

      Cons

      Hours can be scarce. Very, very, very, very, very scarce. Tight scheduling and the managers can be rude and/or pushy.

      Fun ride with a disappointing ending.

      Area supervisor

      Pros

      Flexible schedules. At least one weekend off a month. Competitive pay. Decent (not great) benefits.

      Cons

      BEWARE! LITTLE ROOM FOR ADVANCEMENT WHEN YOU REACH THE AREA SUPERVISOR LEVEL. As an area supervisor, we are in a difficult position. We aren't completely management, but we are considered more than an average associate. In many ways we have the same responsibilities as executive managers. The problem is that MITs are constantly being brought into the company straight out of college, and they always get priority placement every time executive positions open up. Meanwhile, I have seen many knowledgeable, valuable, and experienced area supervisors who have been with the company for years, sometimes decades, get frustrated and eventually leave the company because of this. To be fair area supervisors do get promoted to executive positions from time to time, but that is by far the exception rather than the rule. It makes me feel like I am treated as something less than someone who does not even work for the company yet. I figured out that it would actually be easier for me to get promoted if I were to give my two weeks notice and immediately turn around and apply for the MIT program... its that messed up.
