Pros

Loved my shop, my employees and peers. The customers will become like family. The pay is good for doing your job, but not enough for doing your dm's job.

Cons

The company is moving in the wrong direction. They are leaving their elderly and disabled customers with no shops that are accessable to them. The managers do 100% of the district managers job in the Midwest. The DM is completely incapable and has lost many seasoned employees due to her lack of integrity and discrimination.

Pros

Fun, busy atmosphere at the holidays. Lots of candy, free lunches, and sales competitions to boost morale. The CSR team were great people.

Cons

They had just one Quality Assurance guy to monitor the heavy volume of calls for the entire team. This was a difficult task which caused him to make many mistakes on our scoring cards. Every time I challenged his score, I proved him wrong. Other Reps started to request challenges as well. Also the scoring and evaluation system by the Supervisors was becoming oppressive and overbearing. Originally the Supervisors would evaluate the live call of a CSR once weekly and provide their own score. The company raised prices on the product twice that year and inflation started to climb, thus the current year's numbers were lower than the previous year. Somehow they associated this drop in sales to the exact vocabulary and tonal quality of the CSR team, and began to monitor live calls daily and sometimes twice daily. Being called to the Supervisor's desk daily to pick apart every moment of a call is very demeaning. It didn't feel good working there anymore.

Unwilling to change with time

Pros

All the free candies to eat while at work

Cons

Company claims to be “old fashioned” which is another way of saying they are unwilling to change with time. The management from top down is a complete joke. Have no concept of how a modern company should run. They claim it is because they are retaining the tradition but it’s actually because management accepts below average performance as the norm.
