CONSTANT Change is not good.

Pros

Salary comensation for management is fair and in line with industry standard. Company "vision" is a good one. Outlining processes and documentation of such.

Cons

Payroll way too light to cover all needs at store level. Company vision of world class customer experience is impossible due to bare minimum coverage. Unrealistic expectations regarding time frame on tasks assigned to stores. Micro managing every aspect of the store Corporate does not communicate with stores, a list of tasks for the day is not communication. Stores can't resolve technical issues due to outsourcing and no contact information available for someone stateside that can understand the issue without pulling key words and using a script, this is an incredible waste of time, not to mention the frustration of dealing with non-English speaking tech support. Lack of respect for the individual (From the top down) from upper management. Constant negative feednback, no positive. Instock in stores is poor in several catagories, with no resolution forthcoming.

The managment team would not give time allowence for doing work when at the same time making sure you are giving great customer service. the stress of the job and of upper mangment causes undo stress . the work load the workers are given is not resonable.

Pros

Assisting customers with selecting frames and mats for their art is fun - it's like the art museum comes to you!

Cons

The employee discount is only 20%, which is less than the regular 40% coupon. As with any 2nd job, extended hours during the holiday season and standing on your feet all night make it difficult when working a full-time job during the days. Also there wasn't much sense of community within the store. I did not know most of the employees which was a bit awkward.
