      This place darkens your soul

      Pros

      The discount and the people you work with in your department.

      Cons

      No room for error, you can be an employee for 1 year or over 10 years but if you make a selective mistake they with terminate you or run you out the door. They will under pay you and will not accommodate family and personal medical situations. They never provide with the correct information regarding a potential promotion or job change especially if you are planning to leave to another store.

      Pros

      Peers were amazing to work with, but like Starbucks they are loosing their talent fast.

      Cons

      Upper Management was a joke. The red head ran the place the the Marine Corp. Sorry, but talking down to people does not boost morale. If you sell a lot they are your friend, if you don't, your job is at risk.

      Pros

      Salary was good in comparison to other retailers The company used to be amazing. Focusing on the employee and opportunity for growth was abundant.

      Cons

      They reorganize every year, which leads to anxiety about loosing your job. There is no incentive to grow with the company any longer, because the higher you go the more of a chance your job will be eliminated. They recently rolled out a year ago the United States Operating Model and for the most part, it was a good idea, but it put managers in reviews with associates more than running the floor or working in their discipline. They rolled out an asset protection lead position that was amazing, but then took AP away from the door and wondered why shrink shot through the roof... then realized that was crazy and brought them back to the door. Think before you act BBY.
