Business Outlook

Pros

- Good pay if you work hard. - Somewhat flexible schedule depending on department. - Willing to teach associates. - Has multiple benefit packages including tuition reimbursement programs and stock programs.

Cons

- Management is very numbers driven. - Home office cared more about sales then employee safety during the COVID-19 Pandemic. - Depending on your department, it is hard to create a work-life balance as the schedule is sporadic and changes weekly.
