Pros

Good job to get started in business

Cons

Upper Management (VP) loves to talk about servent leadership, but when you look at him and the rest of the corporate office employees, they don’t practice it. You are nothing to them, even if you have worked for them for years. They do not care about you at all!!! They could care less if their actions cause you to become homeless.

Cons

I love working here but the people are not very friendly or helpful most of the time. Boss is very unprofessional. Working late all the time. No work life balance have PTO time hard to use it. when you can take off only at certain times.

Pros

I like the fact we have PTO Vs a vacation style week format. This allows you to utilize time off more effective in my opinion. I wish this would be use more as a Recruiting tool to managers in the work force. If used properly, with store needs in mind, you in some cases can have a 5week vacation in you second year with the company. Truly this is a missed opportunity for recruitment purposes.

Cons

You can expect to work 65-75hr Thanksgiving week. All hands on deck!In most cases you will get a extra day off to offset this day. The Holidays will make the difference between you deciding to be with the company 1 yrs Vs 30yrs. I think other than Thanksgiving, a work one holiday off the next Holiday would help better manage the quality of life aspect. Another Con is you may be asked to go to another unit at a moment's notice, in one case a manager was moved as much as 15 to 20 times in his 7yrs with the company . They will in some cases offer a pay increase for your distance if you are not maxed out pay wise. My biggest Con is the culture is not a bad one, but with changes being made, We are not geared to being in the top 20 company's to work for. Money is not what recruits the best of the best. Culture along with love towards your employees will make the biggest impact. Look at the top 20 companies to work for,you tell me.
