      It's like family but you're pretty much stuck

      Pros

      It's really laid back. They really trust their employees. The environment motivates you to get outside. It was like working with family.

      Cons

      It's so impossible to move up or even switch departments. After a year of asking I was finally moved. Some weren't so lucky and were stuck for 5+ years before moving to another store just to have any sort of opportunity. And it doesn't reflect every store but the store manager had a problem with bringing his personal problems to work and letting his emotions effect his work.

      Pros

      Great team and leaders. Adhere to work/life balance. Encouraged to participate in work outside of your direct area of responsibility. Always a community project to get involved with and many outside events always taking place.

      Cons

      None at this time. I am happy I have the opportunity to work with this organization and provide service to our many thousands of members through our work.
