Ball of Confusion

Pros

Numerous store locations does offer opportunities for advancement. Salaried management pay and benefits on par (often better) than direct competitors.

Cons

Vision and direction from senior leadership confusing and often contradict direction given earlier, wasting money and resources. For the last two years, stores have been more focused on abstract "scorecards" and "processes" that the average customer really don't care about nor directly benefit from rather than just taking care of the customer. The recent "Clear Action Alley, Revisited" project, is yet one example. The long heralded Open Door policy has recently shut its doors.

Pros

Better than being Unemployed or working at mcdonalds. When you first get the job it seems pretty fun doint the taskes but after a while it just gets old and so tedious. Benefir sharing is pretty cool. There are some limited chances for advancement.

Cons

Very low pay. Extrmely boring and unstimulating work. Very low pay. Advancement opportunites are very slow. Only promoted if the manager really likes you.
