Pros

It is my general practice to work hard in all that I do. Having said that, I truly enjoy working at Blackhawk. Every company has its quirks. Those (quirks) that may seem to stand out are completely tolerable. Prior employees may have bitterness towards the company probably because they couldn't stand to work hard. (my humble opinion)

Cons

The hours can be long but that's just characteristic of retail.

Pros

Employees are honest, hard working, smart, driven, mostly non political, down to earth and driven to be the best. N

Cons

Co. runs so hard and fast, communication gets lost in all the "doing". Too many irons in the fire sometimes means lack of focus. Many times shotgun technique of management, with all employees driving to hit multiple targets at once.

Pros

The people are great. The groups I work with work really hard and do work long hours too but they also know how to take a break from the seriousness and have fun with it.

Cons

Needs to be more communication from the top down. Leadership should be consistent companywide.
