Pros
Promotes from within vs external hire
Cons
However, I was with the company for 5+ years and have seen it change for the worst over the years. Commissions for sales associates got lowered many years ago and as soon as that store hits a certain number for that year- it locks you in at a lower commission. Can never go back to the higher % even if that was a one-off amazing year. They got rid of the long term incentive program which by principle was not taken well by employees in all locations. They cut manager commissions over 50% and they took away quarterly bonuses- these two are generally how store managers were actually making GOOD money. The following year I made $36k less than the prior year Additionally they started doing tiered base salaries and for two consecutive years I took a pay decrease. That should not happen while not having changed roles or location.
