Pros

Overall a pretty nice place to work. Everyone is usually very friendly and happy to be there. Job itself is not difficult. Wonderful benefits, and decent wages.

Cons

Not always easy to advance in the company. They seem to promote whoever they want instead of looking at the bigger picture. Most of the time it feels more like babysitting then working with adults.

Pros

Employees are typically given general direction, then left to perform tasks with minimal supervision. Salaries are competitive with or above those at other retailers. Benefits are substantially better than those offered by most other retailers, particularly 401k and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Cons

Presently, there is excessive emphasis on cost cutting. Staffing levels have been lowered to the point where customer satisfaction is affected. Of course, the stores are still topheavy with store management.

Pros

Excellent benefits. Salary and bonus/commissions in line with other similar retailers. Very flexible on scheduled time off, not so much on unscheduled.

Cons

Too many managers above department level telling department managers what to do. Clear chain-of-command, on paper. In practice, too many zone and assistant managers giving instructions that conflicted with one another, and with direction given personally by store manager. Then all of the above throwing the department manager "under the bus" when District Manager didn't like the results.
