Pros

Good pay, good discount, easy to follow their guidelines, good upper management - the strive to do well even when they fall short.

Cons

Cons consistent with most retail jobs out there - payroll constraints, needing to give in to crazy/unreasonable customers to avoid a customer complaint, only so much room for promotion until he have to be 'relocatable' to move up.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
