      Frequent miscommunication on all levels- within management, from higher management, and from management to associates. Very little performance incentive and reward. Very difficult to be promoted within the company.

      Pros

      Workload isn't that bad. Usually have enough hours to schedule a stock person or enough sales people on the floor to process shipment and take care of customers. Manager is salaried but mine has never worked a minute over 40. OT is frowned upon so as an Asst you still have a life outside of work.

      Cons

      You better negotiate pay before you start because from what I've been told raises haven't been given in years and in a year and a half I haven't received one. And seeing Managers sit in the office while the rest of the staff does all of the work despite the DM being told is not fair.
