Developed me as a leader.

Pros

Focuses on leadership development. A lot of promotional opportunities. I was able to continue to move to progressively more difficult rolls which allowed me to more rapidly develop my skills as a leader.

Cons

Tough work life balance. At a minimum have to work every other weekend and close one night a week. During fourth quarter need to work a lot more.

Pros

Good feedback on job performance. Felt like a part of the team right away. Good training.

Cons

Hours are dictated by the retail workload but you can't do much about that.

Pros

Company has a focus on development that constantly pushes you to be your best. If you have self-drive, you could develop a great foundation in leadership through team lead meetings, feedback, investing time in your bi-weekly work center reports, and quarterly statuses.

Cons

However great their philosophies may seem, and can actualize at times, any employee, regardless of position, eventually feels the real mission at hand: to make the company money. The focus on development is all good and gravy until you realize that they are just trying to see how much they can get out of you and your team for less money. When you are short staffed, which is most of the time, there is no time for development or follow up at all.
