Pros

Good people for the most part. Scheduling is mostly flexible depending on which manager makes your schedule. Strong company with a good background.

Cons

Management is terrible at my store. The more senior the management, the dumber they get. If your work hard, don't expect a reward or to maybe get promoted. They reserve promotions for those that do little work and "befriend" the management. Nothing is merit based at all there, I actually believe they reward stupidity more than hard work. Turnover is off the chart for store team members. They have been trying to find out how they can change this by talking to store employees, but despite being told what the problems are, they just ignore them and figure its something else. Everything works on a point system. If you're late, its 1/2 point. If you don't show up for work its between 1-4 points depending on how you call off if you call off at all. 12 points in the attendance or performance category and you're terminated. If you have a work excuse from a doctor, you still get pointed. If you slip and fall and break your leg while at work, you also get pointed for being unsafe. If you show up everyday and are a model employee, they wont notice you at all.

Pros

Honestly I really can't think of any. Does working inside count? You get a paycheck weekly... I guess that's nice.

Cons

You just walked by an ad laying on the floor and didn't pick if up because you were helping a customer at the moment. After observing this from far away the market director tells the store director he doesn't have control of his team members and must come up with a plan to correct this horrible issue. The store director threatens the line leader to straighten up her team or there will be consequences. She rips into the employee's team leader and leaves him feeling miserable. He in turn yells at his team and especially you because you just nearly got him and all of upper management fired. They all hate you because of this cap you pulled. Nevermind you were with a customer that the market director didn't realize you were helping.
