Pros

ROWE - recently launched HR program that focuses on business results versus facetime in the office - allows flexible working arrangement. Exposure to leadership - if you are an individual contributor, you get opportunity to present to upper mgmt which builds your communication skillset Vacation - 4 wks of vacation every year! Opportunity to spiderweb - flexibility to move into various roles in the organization

Cons

Politics - company is very political and there is lots of favoritism. People get promoted who have track record of being horrible mgrs but have kissed assed to upper mgmt. Lack of leadership - given lackluster results, lots of leadership spin and lack of guidance. Leadership is so focused on week to week sales which is no longer making the job fun. Sometimes can be a very directive culture versus empowering culture. Pay - pay is subpar and once you are in, challenging to increase your pay even if you get promoted (usually 10% increase) Not motivating environment - given all the above reason, morale is low and employees are not engaged.

Pros

Hourly rate is decent and pays weekly

Cons

Managers think they are above everyone even when they have as much potential as a goldfish in life. We are pushed to get customers to sign up for a store credit card which is one of the worst credit cards I’ve seen. Your worth at this company is dependent on how many credit cards you can get which is so dehumanizing. Horrible culture and company to work for.
