Pros

Salary and Bonus is GREAT for a SM . I made 143k total compensation in 2009! Store environment is clean and neat ! Store average customer clientele is good.

Cons

Way too may hours for salaried SM and # salaried ASM's Always losing your day off to prepare for a big visit with no comp day off year around. Way too many visits from RVP, SVP and even higher. Upper management is VERY Arrogant and treats you like you are trash. Always in gotcha mode. look for all your Opps with No recognition for any wins! Way too much unnecessary workload that takes us away from the customer and adds NO value to the bottom line or the company profits.

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
