Get your foot in the door, then leave

Sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great for those that want to get their foot in the door for retail. Sometimes it does take a while to get an interview. After a year in your initial department you can apply to other positions and get promoted to another department. There are some great managers and VP’s and people that work there.

Cons

Pay is lower than average. But again, get your experience and leave. Morale is low. CEO only cares about sales. COVID hit and they waited until the last minute to let us work from home. They were very unprepared. Not enough laptops. And then the forced people to go back to work a few months later while other companies were still implementing work from home. They need to have control so therefore you need to be in the office.

Coordinator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, Reasonable PTO, Overtime

Cons

Says they are family focused when it is only the upper management that is focused on, upper management will take credit for ideas given, overtime was extremely short noticed and mandatory, didn't handle pandemic well and laid off employees that were about to (5 years or less) enter retirement, used or on FMLA, or weren't their "yes" people. Stay away and find a better environment to work in.
