Pros

A good place to start your career People get promoted from within If you perform really well you will get recognized Most people are friendly Flex benefits

Cons

Salary below average in that industry Very money focused Don't care much about employees The Gordon family is very cheap No flexibility Canadian employees are treated like second class citizens All decisions for Canada are made in the US by Americans so as a Canadian if you want to move up in the company you have to move to Michigan.

Pros

Good, privately-owned, company has strong values. Incentives for performance (hitting sales, meeting service standards, etc.). Okay health benefits.

Cons

If Store Manager is not engaged in training their Assistant Managers, it leaves them at a disadvantage and their performance suffers. Compensation for sales associates is not competitive with other similar businesses (i.e. Sam's Club, Costco) so it was hard to keep the associates satisfied with their wages. Sales growth expectations from year to year is a little steep. Most store are expected to increase sales 10-12% from the previous year. This effects your sales bonus as well as effecting your labor, margin, and earnings.
