      Pros

      The people are great. The company is very charitable for some specific organizations that are near and dear to their hearts.

      Cons

      The attendance point system is ridiculous. Associates receive 2 puts for being late or forgetting to punch in/out 3 points for calling out sick. There are 5 steps then you lose your job when you receive 32 points in a year. There has got to be a better way than this. Some managers get away with coming in late or only working 5 hours but get paid for working 10 no points for management and If they work one hour they only have to use 5 hours of benefit time and get paid for 10. What a racket.!

      Good Employees, Power-Mad Management

      Pros

      Very nice cashiers, supervisors, sales consultants, maintenance, etc. Set schedule most of the time, easy to learn job tasks. Good parking? Not much more to say.

      Cons

      Not enough pay, not enough scheduled employees per shift, micro-managing, power hungry management. Very distinct separation between "regular" employees and management. Yelled at for being sick and calling out, deliberately making you feel guilty for it. Too much expected of just one person, often I had to carry out the responsibilities of every employee type myself, as a supervisor. No flexibility in the way things are done, at all.
