Pros

* Pay is decent. * Company is stable and financially healthy. * Most people go in, do their work, go home on schedule. It varies by job and cyclical activities or projects that can cause spikes in workload and time, but many people put in the standard 40.

Cons

* Very traditional. Group-think is common. Culture is often adverse to change. * Leadership is mostly middle age white males, and there doesn't seem to be a feeling that it's weird and not good.

Pros

Great 401K benefits, tons of industry training resources, room for advancement, many tenured staff with exceptional knowledge, always improving products and tech resources.

Cons

Promotions are always top-of mind resulting in a lot of turn over and burn-out. Small store staff can isolate you from company's benefits and network if your store manager is a road-block. Store hours deteriorate your work/life balance.

Pros

Benefits are pretty good. You have to have a 5 word minimum... that’s all I got. Sorry.

Cons

Absolutely everything. No one will ever help you when you need them. There is no team work or official training when systems change. Everything has a standard of mediocrity and you aren’t rewarded for going above and beyond. Also they will “lay you off” if you are sick with a doctors note. Do yourself a favor and do NOT work here.
