Pros

The ability to move up in the company is great if you are okay with moving and maintaining a life of retail sales. The pay is fairly good, benefits and 401k they match as well as decent vacation time.

Cons

Not many opportunities outside of the retail store or rep position (moved from store to Credit Office). Upper Management is awful and over paid, large corporation where right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing and they micro-manage daily tasks since they don't have much else to do.

Pros

Good benefits-401k, insurance, okay place to start your career but unless you are willing to move all over you cannot advance

Cons

Incredibly discriminatory towards females. Preach a lot about diversity and gender inclusion however either tries to meet quotas to hit diversity requirement and consistently puts females in "token" positions or uses them as a commodity rather than individuals with talent. Still very much the good ole boys club. Have also seen terrible decisions by management. The company continues to put profit and stock price ahead of people, until they figure out that people are the biggest asset this company has they will have incredibly high attrition, turnover, and will be just like the rest of corporate america that treats women and minorities with no respect. Women are underpaid as with the rest of America. Work life balance from manager training program on up is terrible. What corporate speaks about to what is actually executed by leadership in the field does not match. Has potential to have a great culture if there were managers who cared more about people than the bonus they make. What Cleveland corporate training teaches vs what district management and VP of sales actually carry out do not match at all.
