Pros

Very willing to work with you regarding your schedule. Hard to get fired - although they will most def just not schedule for any hours until you quit. The associate discount is nice and doubled several times a year making most merchandise very reasonable. Most associates are decent, hardworking people. A Team events and the contributions to charity are a nice thing.

Cons

It doesn't matter too much about ability or work ethic. You pretty much have to be handpicked to advance. A lot of politics - though they are not a professional outfit. The pay is lousy but the benefits are not bad. Credit - Credit - Credit!!! We are required to open a minimum number of charge accounts every week in addition to our regular workload.

Pros

Location, has been a good company to work for IN THE PAST

Cons

Youngsters being hired on through the intern program without any real experience or people skills. Upper management that does not care about the employees that make their bonuses possible. Lack of gratitude for the hard work those employees put forth to make to make it possible for upper management to receive their bonuses. Company is beginning a downward spiral as far as a GREAT place to work. since they are so proud of their Green Scene. Why not take on a more daunting task- To be a leader in associate work satisfaction.
