      Pros

      Flex time is good to balance work and personal life. Thats about all.

      Cons

      They always start people a level below where their skill set is. For instance someone who was a Director previously would come in as a Manager. Don't expect to move around in the company. Whatever department you start in is where you will remain. They are slow to give promotions. Average wait time is 3 to 5 years. Company mindset is male driven. If you don't like sports, racing, or Appalachin State you won't do well here. They claim you have educational benefits then say there is no money to pay for it when you want to use the benefit.

      Pros

      Great place to learn about home improvement and home improvement products Great to learn customer service

      Cons

      Horrible benefits especially for part-time, pay was low, have to wait 6 months before moving departments, corrupt and unprofessional management. They treat you like youre stupid, inferior, and a joke. Even if you try to offer advice or share an opinion they never take it into consideration. Open door policy is a joke. They dont solve problems well, you're treated like a child. A lot of gossiping, they dont care about how good of a job you do they only care about how much you can suck up to them. If they dont like you theyll make sure you dont succeed even if youre one of the better workers. They nitpick over small stuff and never acknowledge the big issues. Its like they live in an alternate reality to the real business world of today. They don't understand what good customer service is, how to treat employees, or how to run a successful business.

      i found the environment to be "good ol' boy" with very subtle abuses.

      Pros

      it's one of the few corporations north of charlotte. a few of the organizations seemed to function well. in general, people were friendly but not trustworthy if their manager was heavy handed.

      Cons

      HUGE disparity between how men and women could dress. expectation and rules for women are old school and reminiscent of the old right guard. it was a physical representation of the underlying misogynistic management.
