Company that only pretends to care.

Pros

You get Christmas off and you get paid every week. I get to meet people I've never met before and I get to help them.

Cons

They make you work all holidays except Christmas. I have to miss my brother's graduation after I tried everything I could, they don't care and didn't work with me to figure it out. They just decided this year to cut the hourly budgets so they're expecting us to do more then what we can. The store director I have doesn't know how to acknowledge achievements, only what were doing wrong or what she thinks we should be doing instead of our job. If your late cause of some kind of emergency or something happens to your car, they always say there is no excuses. Employees are just thrown into doing things, not really trained properly. They simply just don't care.

Pros

Most of the coworkers were nice, and it was nice getting a 10% discount on GM stuff. I did learn a lot of things about sanitation and safety too. I loved my manager- she was absolutely a blast to work with and genuinely cared.

Cons

Even though they required you to update your availibility every few months, they never paid any attention to it. Many of my coworkers worked two jobs (or went to school) and they would schedule them while they had classes... You'd think being in a college town would cause them to think through that. Also, the pay was TERRIBLE! I worked there almost 2 years (at roughly 30 hours/week) and still only made about $8/hour. Don't even get me started on the union...

Pros

It is a good place to get your foot in the door for Managerial type positions. Benefits & retirement packages are good and there are opportunities to continue to move up if you have the stamina and patience. The core values are good and easy for one to take pride in.

Cons

Hours available are a real problem. They are still working off a plan that was implemented years ago when the economy was low and too often you find one person trying to accomplish the job of 2 - 3 people. This of course results in low morale and quick turn over.
