Pros

Loved the work, the customers and the pace of the job.

Cons

If you’re not good buddies with management they will find a way to get rid of you. They operate strictly on the buddy system. More drama than a high school and the manager talks about all employees to the other employees. Poor communication. Management uses having bpd as an excuse to cuss employees. She’ll make the schedule to avoid employees that she doesn’t consider her “friends”. Forbids female employees from even speaking to her husband if he comes in. She’s so insecure that she thinks everyone is after him (that’s a joke in and of itself). Even if you’ve done nothing wrong, she’ll find a way to get rid of you. The place is a joke.

Pros

Benefits such as health/medical insurance

Cons

Massive company. I worked a couple different roles from the “corporate” side, even if I was in stores a lot of the time. One thing I learned is that the “office” or “corporate” roles don’t really have a day off. Sure, it’s a Monday-Friday job but it’s like regardless of what you do there, you’re on call in some way but there isn’t any sort of incentive in return. You’re likely not going to get a sufficient work-life balance working here, because, again, someone is going to be calling or emailing you on the weekend or in the evening where either you have to handle it, or pass it onto someone else who can. Lack of thorough vetting has resulted in unqualified leadership with challenging management styles that hurt daily team morale.
