Just a place to work

Pros

they have a good employee discount, and hired me after long term unemployment, not a whole lot more can be said

Cons

I have seen people show up for work, and after only being on the clock for 30 minutes, managment telling them that "we need to cut hours" and send them home.. Real nice, they didn't even make enought to pay for the gas to get to work that day.. SOMEONE should have figured that out BEFORE the people were schedualed to come in, and call them, so they didn't waste there time and gas.

Solid Company to work for. Leaders who allow you to shine and challenges you at the same time

Pros

Benefits, Stability, Positive Brand, Broad range of opportunities. Each employee has the opportunity to contribute to the overall achievements of the company by sharing (and being rewarded for...) their unique innovative ideas. Leadership is focused on helping employees find work and tasks in their roles that they enjoy and do well. The developmental focus in leveraging your strengths not working on your weaknesses.

Cons

This is a very interesting concept: As a leader, you must be able to descern how and when you work. Work life balance can suffer not due to the pressures of the job; but due to the passion that employees find in their jobs. This is very evident at the Exempt level. Leaders are encourged to make on-purpose time for family and personal life,.

Too bad because there is so much potential

Pros

Benefits for an hourly employee are great. Tuition reimbursement, health insurance, 401k. This is only if you are a full time employee. Get to work with awesome new technology. Fast paced. You will get to know how to sell and how to make sales relationships. Great and fun people to work with often times.

Cons

Senior management are very short sided and change messaging constantly. Never a consistant message so it is not always clear to what you are supposed to do to be promoted or to be considered as doing well. One day it could be service plans, the next it could be credit cards. The next it could be missing signs but there is no formula for what good looks like and it is very frustrating.
