Going Downhill...still a chance to recover

Anonymous employee

Pros

Benefits, Work relationships (because we battle the stress together), possible total compensation (bonuses), possibility for advancement (if you're willing to pick up your family and move)

Cons

LOOONG hours (not 44-48 you get paid for, more like 55+ and not being compensated because over time is "not allowed"), VERY stressful environment, unrealistic requirements, short staffed stores, MICROMANAGEMENT in EVERY aspect of your job, spend more time logging "lead generations calls" than actually making sales, just has become a big joke

Pros

The pay is fair once you become an assistant manager or higher. Work stability. 44 hours as an assistant, 48 as a store manager. Benefits are okay.

Cons

The politics of corporate America. Hard work and having a good work ethic can only get you so far.. It then becomes a game of "it's not what you know, but rather who you know." All the stores are running pretty lean, especially the smaller stores.

Corporate is Tolerable

Pros

The pay and benefits are good, but are replaceable. Fitness center and cafeteria. Vacation time.

Cons

It is run like the 1940s boys club, very hard if you are a women. There is no work life balance if you are a working mom. The traffic and parking are horrible in Cleveland. I don't think the company has the culture of always doing the right thing for the employees. Promotions are selective.
