Pros

Great product and vendor support. Fantastic concept.

Cons

Current General Managers have VERY POOR leadership skills and even less product knowledge.(Of course, they were hired from outside the company - with a blind eye turned to more than capable interested internal applicants) Executive Management are all cronies and couldn't care less about what actually goes on at the store level or who TRULY does the work or who has been a loyal and dedicated employee from the beginning. No opportunities to be promoted from within although the company raves about this "incentive" from recruitment to hire. Wages are not competitive with positions in similar companies, well below acceptable for the amount of talent, energy and skillset that these positions require.

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
