Pros

Health Insurance is decent and Scripts are good. Different levels of employment of choice if available.

Cons

Very exclusive despite its claims on an inclusive culture. Have ethnic racial issues within the stores. Extensive morality problems in the Executive and District Manager Branches, cannot hold each other accountable. Not a comfortable work environment.

Pros

The benefits are great...once you get them. Health insurance is cheap and they link personal health and wellness with the insurance, so it makes employees more mindful of their health and weight if they want to keep the nice health package for them and their families. They offer discounts on jewelry, phone plans, tuition (only to certain schools).

Cons

Their primary focus is customers first, but in order to make customers first, you should probably make sure your employees are happy, which should always be number one for any company. People are complicated but simple at the same time and the fact is that people are easily affected by people around them. When you get one unhappy worker, there will usually be more and people just feed off each others negativity. You don't think customers will notice the negativity your employees are trying so hard to keep in? Employees (full time or part time) do not start qualifying for the benefits until exactly one year after their hire date. You are gonna let people who work for you, live without health insurance (probably because they can't afford it) for a whole year?! Poo on you.

Pros

They are always looking for ways to improve the business and the customer service experience. They make great efforts in improving the associate quality of life. Compensation is good for management and increases yearly based on your performance.

Cons

some of the people who make the decisions loose sight of whats going on in the trenches. Most of them worked their way up but are so far removed that time and money gets wasted on things not carefully thought out. They put more and more things for management to do each month. Hourly rate of pay makes it difficult to locate strong and loyal workers.
