Pros

Competitive entry level salary Large amount of PTO

Cons

Long, long hours no compensation incentive based on incremental work Raises determined only on store performance Annual Raise ranges determined only by company performance. Large disconnect between corporate and store level, never enough funding to satisfy expectations, salaried workers must fill the gaps.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, work environment, perks, and company culture. Management focuses on training and developing employees and keeping you on track to advance to the next level of your career. They recruit from colleges all around the country, so the mix of people working there is diverse. Everyone is generally welcoming and kind.

Cons

The corporate environment can feel suffocating at times, as can the location of the suburbs of Wisconsin. There can also be high stress and drama depending on the season.

Pros

-good resources -knowledgable management -clean working environment -internal promotion

Cons

For the regular hourly employee the company doesn't train you very well. They will throw you into a new area without any training on the equipment or procedure. The management team will yell at you and write you up if you then do the work wrong. Even though I gave them a pro for internao promotion, they don't care for good workers but only wish to promote their "favorite" friends. The management team will also start cutting your hours and start giving you more work than manageable as an excuse to write you up if they don't like you.
