Excellent peers, Great pension/stock plan, very good insurance,decent salary(we do earn it)

Cons

management from vp's to dm's have lost touch with the stores, keep piling the "programs", following countless required cold calls, there is no work/life balance when you are always short handed, micro-managed, too many meetings,open seven days a week a lot of times you are working by yourself.

Pros

Great training and management/support. You are given all the tools needed to win and sell/earn bonus money. If you work hard and do what is asked, you can make some good money.

Cons

Lousy hours. Very much retail hours. Managers often work weekends. Not a good quality of life. All stores are short staffed, could all use an extra employee. Company is starved for diversity and promotes minorities/woman even if they aren't qualified to put them in visible roles. If you want to reach upper level management, you'll have to relocate several times.
