No room for advancement because of buddy system

Pros

Great relationships with other staff members, bonuses and Q4 trip opportunity. CEO seems to really care about the company. Office staff doesn't turn over and are nice when I call. 401k and health insurance

Cons

Base pay isn't good and goals for bonuses are difficult to achieve. Management team isn't trained, high turnover. Hard to get promoted because it's about the buddy buddy system instead of your value to the company. Insurance isn't that great

Pros

Good benefit plans. The company has good professionals, and a lot of them have a lot of experience. HR has the correct experience, and the right attitude.

Cons

Too much politics. The balance score card is such a disappointing evaluation. They tell you they are not going to give the highest score because they do not want to pay bonuses even if they are part of your hiring package. They say you can grow within the company, but the reality is that they don't have enough room to grow. There's a high turnover.

Pros

*Always provided with a solid 40 hours a week *Monthly bonuses can range from $25-$1500 or more depending on how much profit you generate. *In my area (OKC metro) overtime is almost always available. *Hourly pay not bad for a job that requires no higher education/specific skill training. *You learn a lot about a broad range of merchandise (electronics, tools, jewelry, etc.) *The commission structure keeps you motivated and interested in the job. Instead of working hourly while all profits are sent to corporate, you get to keep a percentage of all profits you make from loans (pawns) and sales. *Your management will SOMETIMES make good deals on merchandise you are interested in purchasing

Cons

*Definite favoritism in upper management *Stores constantly understaffed *Sometimes have to work more hours than you would like *The turnover rate is very high. I would guess 80% of new hires quit in under 6 months. *Customers and management WILL try your patience, and even coworkers you like will get on your nerves on busy 50-60 hour weeks *VERY little room to do anything else, time wise (School, part time second job, etc)
