Pros

Very few from a corporate standpoint. Fellow Associates at store level

Cons

Poor executive leadership.. nothing but self interest. No I in team, but there is in Marvin (CEO). Preach we are a family , then do every thing possible to prove different. Cut staff to less than bare bones, increase responsibility, micro management, treat employees as chattel. Only interest is shareholder value, but forget good employee value and forget that many many employees are shareholders. Beholden to activist investors. Not the company it was 10 years ago. Only want cheap part time labor. Horrendous work schedules. 6 weekends off a year for full timers in the stores.

Pros

Opportunity to advance with HS diploma.

Cons

Leadership has more customer service backgrounds than sales background. Pleasing the client is a quarter of the battle. Selling the products seem to take a back seat. Inadequate sales force leads to poor customer relations which makes management run around putting out constant fires.

Pros

If you keep your head down and meet you production standards then folks don't bother you. Decent pay rate with wage increases every six months to a year

Cons

No union, if the manament wants to fire you for whatever reason they will find a way to say you're being "unsafe" which makes job security an issue. Hard, physical work with excruciatingly hot summers and bone chilling winters.
