Pros

Decent compensation and benefits after you have been for awhile. Knows how to raise safety awareness. Volunteer acitivites are robust.

Cons

Little direction on how to advance in the company, little to no active development even for employees that are high potential contributors. Upper management are a) overly secretive and b) deceptive at times. Outright lied to by Corporate and HR who talked me into staying until after the new year to recieve an annual bonus, then after I left changed their minds without bothering to communicate that. Slimy. Entire department turned over whlil I was there, 5 years. That did not appear to phase anyone much.

Pros

Tom Devins and Bill Klesse were great bosses. The company has great benefits. The offices are beautiful. The company has a strong balance sheet and can close deals quickly. The company values honesty and has great leadership.

Cons

The company has partial ownership of many stores (over 1100) nationwide and some could be spiffed up.
