Pros

Exeter has newer management who expresses his want and need for change.

Cons

Allowing sub-par buyers to advance to management who can’t even give you a rolling 6 month goal is insanity. These buyers you just promoted have been taught and trained by your overlooked seasoned pros- one of them is less than 2 years on the job and the other was let go and rehired due to Exeter hardship. Great choices Exeter! May you retain the buyers who drive sales to over compensate for your poor management choices.

Pros

Ok pay, paid holidays, decent PTO after a while, ability to earn bonuses.

Cons

Working most holidays. There isn't equal pay between the two centers. Irving, TX pays employees more, eventhough the cost of living is higher in Utah. If you're looking for development you may want to look elsewhere. They're bad about giving a little room to grow and then taking back that room due to others poor judgement instead of coaching those people. One of the managers in the credit department had never worked in the credit department before and that caused a lot of frustration. She spent more time on her phone than paying attention to what was going on in the team and helping them grow. Management should be the ones coaching new employees and ensuring they have have proper training. It's not right to have fellow employees have to coach new employees about their errors. The work load is a lot and it's even more pressure if you perform. They need to focus more on other metrics. Also goals keep increasing, but they aren't promoting at the same rate. If they truly want to grow the business they'll need to make some major changes. It's too much like doing the cha-cha working there. Morale is also low for those who are in it for more than just the paycheck. Also no work life balance. They had some lunch and learn classes however, they weren't at a reasonable time so the closing shift could attend and the topics were pretty basic instead of geared towards development. Having one on one meetings just filled with threats and not hearing that you're doing a great job when you're constantly going above and beyond is annoying. Nobody is on the same page. Toxic work environment.

Pros

Great environment, fun people, great activities, awesome recognition programs, average benefits, lots of change in this case for the better, room for growth, pay is ok, manangement was having some issues when I was first hired on but has since been cleaned up and I am now seeing people enjoying coming to work. The current management care and make coming to work fun. I personally understand company direction and expectations.

Cons

I put pay as OK above but it also could be better here at Exeter to make up for the cost of living which is just as high as the Irving locations. If you are not one for change then that is a con because this place is cleaning up for the better. No local GYM which would be a huge advantage and destressor for folks over the breaks or lunch. Old computer systems, with all the updates and patches these computers get, they slow to a crawl. There are changes coming for this but not fast enough. No secret here, the company is either going IPO or being sold. This leaves a lot of questions for people like "in either case would there be layoffs?" "How secure is my job right now?" "I have seen companies bought before and a lot of good people usually get whacked, what are the chances that happens here?" This could also be a possitive if they are sold to the right company but as it stands the uncertainty is a negative.
