Pros

Opportunity to grow Free uniform 15% discount Move department when available position Benefits/ PTO Competitive pay Staff cafe privacy HR on site Lockers Online support/ training/information Paid training Posted 3 week schedules

Cons

No shift exchange per managers (new rule?) Kronos does schedule, hassle to update shift (prefer coworkers to get occurrences) Schedule posted usually 1-2 weeks out Hours vary Favoritism Some lazy co-workers/ don't care attitude Managers make fun of coworkers Occurrence system sucks Writting off warnings in an ambush way ( no time to review what you are signing & rarely give you a copy when you ask) New store concept, new hires do the job of 4 Breaks are hectic Move around only when new position posted You can tell when they don't want you to move position HR gives different answers/ their interpretation Random shift times/ different every week Cocky managers/ power-trip attitude when Hr is not around

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
