Pros

Your job is VERY secure. Full timers are rarely let go no matter how incompetent they are. Retirement plan is very good.

Cons

Management is panicky and very heavy handed. There is no consideration for work life balance at all. They hire smart people but then do not listen to them so talent leaves. This breed a culture of old timers who can't think in modern ways mixed with new comers that can't understand why previous decisions were made. The result is a total lack of accountability since non technical managers make technical decisions and then go home on time when the technical people are stuck cleaning up after them. The only way to survive is to remove passion for work and/or family.

Pros

As a supervisor you can control the work environment to the best of your ability to make the store a great place to be for customers/coworkers. Pay is at a decent starting level for the position.

Cons

Basic Associates only accrue PTO creating issues with Work/Life balance unless you've made it a long time without needing to take a day. Attendance Point System is unforgiving without readily available PTO. As management differs between stores experiences may vary.
