Overall good company to work for.

Pros

Good compensation for sales people and managers. Great benefits package that starts on first day of employment. In general good pay, benefits, and time off (unless in retail).

Cons

Company is constantly looking for ways to improve profitably, sometimes at employees expense. This is done by changing compensation plans to make it more difficult to make money or to reduce the amount of money employees were previously making. Some management is more concerned with making their mark to get the next promotion than with developing their people.

Pros

Great benefits for Associates (free). Many company sponsored courses and workshops for professional development. Many wonderful employees. Great pay for Associates and Management. Union workforce. Free education! Great pay for not so demanding jobs.

Cons

Management employees have taken many hits in recent years with the termination of the pension, high cost of benefits, high numbers of lay-offs, low morale, inexperienced senior executives, and the list goes on. While not as strong as it once was, the union is still the best and safest place for a prospective employee. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never gone into management.
