Pros

Pay for Manager+ positions is crazy! Really? Horrible, unethical people need to be paid $275,000+ - no wonder the Company is going belly up! Merchandise discount - at Summit you get cost plus 5%

Cons

Company bends over backwards to accomodate exempt-status time off whether it be vacation, 'sick time', Family medical leave, kids events, community service/charity work. Some people almost never seemed to be a their jobs and as a Manager there was not a thing you could do about it! Multi-million dollar severance packages to pay people who are "in the know" not to work. Incompetent Director+ level that are more interested in having meetings (let's discuss, let's strategically plan, let's building cross-functional partnerships....) to no end rather than actually getting anything accomplished and moving. A big $4 billion corporation that acts like it's stuck in the 1960's still - so SAD SIDNEY, NEBRASKA - Enough said!

Pros

The people working here are awesome, I've founded some great friendships during my time here while honing skills in customer service.

Cons

Corporate management couldn't be more disconnected from what happens in this store. Expectations are unrealistic and they're constantly reducing hours.

Pros

A place to work until you can find a real job.. I would never recommend anyone to work at this place.

Cons

Not a place to build a career. No incentive to excel, hard work or high subject knowledge is NOT rewarded or recognized. Most manager have no leadership qualities nor do they care about their people (you as an employee are replaceable!). Schedules mean nothing because you mean nothing to them.
