      From East to West

      Branch manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      They really take care of you on a transfer. I've worked for this company 21 years and have loved it those years.

      Cons

      The difference form working in the West Coast and now the East Cost is very disappointing. This is not the same company here. The amount of service hours used to staff a 3 million store is 8 to 10%. For the first time I have seen in several stores that phones have to go unanswered and task are put off for days due to the understaffing. It saddens and stresses me.

      Strong Industry footprint but has become a telemarketing position

      Assistant store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong Financial performance, Gaining market share, enjoyable customer relationships. Decent pay if budgets are obtained.

      Cons

      Many District managers and Vice Presidents of sales who practice negative reinforcement management styles as they like to keep you "shaking in your shoes" as a means of motivation. This combined with a subjective performance appraisal process can make things much more stressful then they should be. Micro Management, too focused on lead generation forcing 100+ cold calls per week. Long store hours. Has strong focus on hiring women and minorities not necessarily the best candidate.

      My experience with the company has been pretty good overall.

      Pros

      Time off is good. That's about all you get for being par-time. Co-workers are pretty friendly people for the most part.

      Cons

      Customers can be difficult and without much backing from corporate they can usually walk away with whatever they want.
