Pros
Stores are in good locations and well maintained, All associates and managers have ongoing training to keep up on procedures. Managers and associates get along well, there is ability to move to different departments as positions become available. Good employee recognition program. Good selection of benefits, Customers are great to deal with. Good community involvement. A decent job for a young part timer.
Cons
Some departments have been cut back to far. No room for incoming employees to become full time, they will take someone from another area or store that is already full time first. So really no room for advancement for part timers. Pay scales have been greatly reduced and it's very difficult to receive merit raises. Many many programs and initiatives are introduced and are the 'de rigueur"' before being fully realized for deficiencies. Too frequent corporate visits and not enough hours for day to day operations. Can be a very rigid place to work.
