Loved my coworkers, hated the management

Pros

The people. The workers. That's what made that place.

Cons

The pay/raises were a joke. No way to stay ahead in life. The most you could make was 3% and that was unheard of. Our boss would only give out 2% at the most. The management style was from the 70's. They treated employees like they owned them. Very fake environment. The P2V system is from 1986 and not a natural thing for a human to be working with all day. Not good for your ears/hearing and not good for your soul.

Pros

Focus on providing an optimum customer experience is the core of all their decision making. Including training and development of associates, maximizing a diverse product offering, and execution of those objectives.

Cons

A little behind in technology driven solutions, but what they lack in IT and technology offerings they make up for in focus on the customer experience.
