Pros

They are very willing to working with employees who need flexible scheduling and extended periods of time off. There is quick advancement and few barriers for those who show the effort to be the best. They also offer a pension after just five years of employment. The management is fair and competent.

Cons

Not enough monetary compensation for the time, work, or effort. Union influence means that pay is tied very closely to length of employment, meaning there is little financial incentive to become better at one's job.

Pros

A company that continues to grow and is 2nd in the nation in sales (next to Walmart). If you look for open jobs and have a professional attitude and work hard you can move up fast. I have worked for the company for more that 10 years and have enjoyed moving up the ranks in about 5 different positions. If you see a position that you like apply for it... the worst thing that can happen is they say no, but you can get feedback on how to improve or skills you need to learn. Work hard and you will be rewarded.

Cons

I have not personally seen too much of a downside. When I did work in the stores the hours were sometimes not optimal but is expected when you are starting out.

Pros

The company is very stable in this rocky economy. The local site I work at has respect for its employees and is very conscientious about product quality. The managment is always open to working with the employees to find process improvements and new ideas to help our company be successful. My site is very supportive in helping team members progress in their career path. I have the trust and the freedom to do what is necessary to facilitate technology improvements at my local site.

Cons

Lack of consistency or communications. Poorly thought out initiatives are inflicted on business units without a full understanding or regard for the impact they will have.
