Awesome career potential sometimes dampend by political agendas
Pros
Its a family owned and orientated company. It is consistenly growing and offering key employees internal promotion. Benefits are good for the Store Mgr. And if you build a strong team, treat all employees with dignity and respect the store morale is high and it can be alot of fun. an extended family of sorts. Many Senior Staff have started their careers in a store a crew level. And Corporate Stores are beginning to be brought into the computer age...
Cons
Pay is on the low scale for managment for what is required with the position. There is not one Corporate Store with a dedicated place for the Mgmnt to complete required paperwork (done by pen and paper - no computers) only a few stores have big back rooms with tables for training. Paperwork is completed @ most phones stations - doesn't say alot on how Company views and trusts its Mgrs. And there is much room for improvement from Support Field Staff and Supervisors in the areas of training, employee relations and accountability. Especially when it comes to consistency of implementing and enforcing Company Policies and Procedures. Consistency lacks severely and is influenced @ times not by the precedents set prior, but by underlying agendas and who you are (or know) and who likes you or doesn't. Not good practice.
