      Overall, a nice place to work and make good money

      Pros

      The employee discount of course, although it should probably be 33% to all employees (not just management) the workers all seem down to earth and friendly. Managers seem to be pretty lenient when it comes to switching shifts or getting necessary time off. Opportunity to make some good money is there with commission, but you must work hard (like any other job). If working full time, good benefits program. Pros definitely outweigh the cons. Good overall atmosphere!

      Cons

      Although the managers are smiling on the sales floor, the stock room tells another story. Management needs to take it down a notch on the ego-meter. All i wanted was a hello, eye contact, maybe any sort of acknowledgment after attempting to greet a regional manager. I received none. Instead? A good look up their nose because their head was held up so high. I understand that they are higher as far as our positions are concerned, but I never thought that managers would translate that as "I'm better than you." Less-knowledgeable and skilled workers are getting promoted due to favoritism as well. Nevertheless, be patient, prove yourself (even if it takes multiple times), and let management know you want to move up. They usually try to promote you as best they can.

      Pros

      Promote from within, strong sense of a large family business, pretty good discount, Extensive sales and management training, good support system

      Cons

      Long hours as management and dependent on the department you work in, sometimes the sales employees make more than the managers do.
