good until you see through the dog and pony show
Pros
Stores are physically not open past 6pm. That helps with less issues with customers past office hours. If you get a great Regional, then you will get more out of this position. Peers 8 out of 10 are good people. Pay is competitive for a big box store salary.
Cons
this company has analysis paralysis. There are literally 17 reports to run daily. To send to someone. You need to do things so you don't show up on someone's report somewhere. They will work on your pay plan the year of the pay plan. they work on objectives the year those objectives are for. There is no planning from regional manager and above. They overload you on pencil pushing thing to do instead of value time spent with your people to develop them. Each of the systems are built to take 5 extra steps to do one thing. You cannot approve repairs past 100 dollars. They also coddle veterans that are chronic underperformers. Corporate employees and some regional and above are there to catch what you're doing wrong yet not offer solutions to fix it. There is no real "time off" on the weekends . They have so many unwritten rules on how to answer an email or a question or a phone call. Have more transparency with your people!
