Pros

Culture is tremendous, managers are well supported and given a lot of autonomy. Not a high pressure sales environment but still able to get high performance. Pay is good not great. Management opportunities are good and you don't have to start from the bottom.

Cons

work/life balance. Extreme culture of constant feedback can be off putting at first. Not necessarily longer hours but they are definitely later. Many nights end well after closing and this can wear thin over time. Companies culture is constant change and to an outsider it feels like instability and re-activeness. In order to move up you have to either move to Phoenix where the corporate offices are or wait your turn for an A/D spot to open and for what? More work? More time away from my family? Great job for a single person with few attachments. Pay structure changes literally every year=more instability. Sales Advisors can make just as much as the GM and have absolutely no buy-in to push for more sales at a certain point because their bonuses are guaranteed whereas management's is dependent on hitting a budget. It's all or nothing for our bonus.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that the changes that have taken place this year were seen as instability. We recognize the challenges that come with change however the goal is always to move forward a stronger, more stable company for our customers and employees. We encourage you to reach out to your Assistant Director or Director to discuss some of the concerns you have and to seek a stronger understanding of some of the recent changes you have seen.

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
