Pros

Very willing to work with you regarding your schedule. Hard to get fired - although they will most def just not schedule for any hours until you quit. The associate discount is nice and doubled several times a year making most merchandise very reasonable. Most associates are decent, hardworking people. A Team events and the contributions to charity are a nice thing.

Cons

It doesn't matter too much about ability or work ethic. You pretty much have to be handpicked to advance. A lot of politics - though they are not a professional outfit. The pay is lousy but the benefits are not bad. Credit - Credit - Credit!!! We are required to open a minimum number of charge accounts every week in addition to our regular workload.

Pros

Decent salary and decent benefits.

Cons

If you are looking for a picture of company politics... this is it. Senior management is unfit to run the business. Your performance, background, education, and experience are worthless unless you are liked by senior management, which in most cases means following their unethical ways. If you call out their poor practices or point out areas of improvement you get chastised and there is some serious retaliation. It is a company where talent is not appreciated because those that are on senior level positions are too insecure and afraid that new ideas and new talent will replace them. Watch out for some serious discrimination, diversity is definitively not this company's forte.
