      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good work-life balance Very broad exposure to lots of different functions Provides ample opportunity for improving communication skills (out of necessity - you need to communicate a lot to get things accomplished) Great cafeteria - healthy and tasty foods for extremely reasonable prices State-of-the-art gym - very clean facilities and good classes

      Cons

      Unclear company strategy / mission Lack of training 2 weeks of vacation?!! Expensive health insurance Political and hierarchical Very traditional / stodgy culture Strict dress code - 1 jeans day / year, if even that

      Poor communication

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexibility, vacations, holiday pay, unionized,

      Cons

      Serious lack of communication. Manager never communicates that someone has called in sick, until that person doesn't show up and we are left wondering wtf? Manager has to be in control of everything, no point in having front end managers when the manager flips out on you in the front end, in front of everyone (customers too) for giving someone their break. Getting breaks is like pulling teeth, fear of getting yelled at, retaliation etc. Extreme pressure and threats to fulfill donation quotas, paperwork in the checkstand. Having to WRITE DOWN NAMES OF RANDOM CUSTOMERS on a paper to turn in at the end of the day, yeah customers LOVE seeing that!
