Pros

Salaried managers are paid ok... Paid time off for tenured associates is a perk... Distribution centers and trucking are best of the best...

Cons

- Matching 401k disappeared recently... - Major payroll cuts leading into holiday season (sales increase, workload increases, expectations increased, labor DECREASED? Really?) - Obsolete equipment/technology at retail level making necessary tasks very difficult to accomplish in time given - little to no investment in associate training/retention, turnover rate laughably high. - all tasks are metric based and unrealistic with the labor provided by labor analysis and productivity. - toxic culture among "leadership" (use that term VERY loosely) runs downhill to the associate level - nobody is happy and satisfied with their job - fear based leadership. Store leadership more concerned with being "good worker bees" for "corporate leadership" that they drop the hand of the customer and sales are stagnant.

Pros

In my location at this point the management is very good at passing along workers who are unkind and have bad attitudes.

Cons

Currently, the most difficult part would be the dealing with people who are trying to scam us.
