Pros

name on resume 10% employee discount can get work done on slow days you can tell when its hyped up lies coming out of corporate

Cons

1-ISCE "journy" = putting all the work on front end and managers to allow the tech and furnature associates to sell to the customers but for no longer than 5 min all associates must quiz every other associate every 60 seconds or so and a lot of paperwork 2- pay is minimum wage with no pay increase unless the whole store does well and no commision unles you double or triple your last years best and only if your the best in a district 3 - corporate has micro-mange-itis 4- if your on the bottom its always your fault 5- copy center is the most demanding section of the store outside of managers because half the time copy center acts as managers

Pros

The commute from Seattle to Sumner is light so that’s a good pro the same way going back home. The commute is really easy. Part of that being would be the start time for the shift which would be about 6 AM so those would be the pros.

Cons

There was a recent hiring freeze, which meant that current employees had to start wearing three or more hats, doing other jobs that are outside of their description, whether they’re capable or not, and then the managers have unrealistic expectations as to how to delegate responsibility due to either not enough tenure in their position or trying to cover more than one department, ..which means things are gonna fall into the cracks, then there is a lack of accountability on the part of management for their contribution to the situation are currently frustrated about… they’re aware of this and let’s just say there is room for growth.
