Pros

They have an excellent benifit package and several programs for employees such as the Homer Fund and tuition remebursment. If you are willing to learn they offer a ton of training.

Cons

It can be a challenge for many associates to be able to address so many differnt personalities and achieve the same reaction out of any one person.

Pros

Fellow employees for the most part are supportive and committed to providing the best service they can to the customer base. Customers too for the most part are reasonable in their expectations of the employees who work in n environment where it is virtually impossible to know everything about entire store contents. An interesting exercise in creating solutions for customer problems.

Cons

A lot of lip service paid to training, much of it is quite trite as well as being geared more to the US. In addition beyond the first month it is difficult to go off the floor to complete the required training. Although store systems are being updated, they are often cumbersome and unreliable and again the training does not delve into the complexities necessary to feel comfortable with the systems. Too many situations where department supervisors request something be done which is later contradicted by next level management thus wasting considerable time.

Pros

Individual effort is appreciated. Gender bias seems to not be an issue, at least in my store.

Cons

Pay is too low, and too many floor assiciates are just taking up space, not putting in any real effort.
