Pros
-The pay is great but not enough for the work you do - I love the people I work with -PTO - Visits from CEO and others are great but stressful
Cons
It's a very stressful environment. Its very hard to advance with the company. Supervisors have also trained to be TMs in a 10 week program and no one advanced. They like to hire externally rather than promote from within. They bring employees from overseas to help out when we can do it ourselves, if they gave us a chance. The employees that come over have all expenses paid, the company pays for housing, meals and transportation. That is a lot of money being thrown around and they can't give management raises? Retail assistants just got a raise to $12/hr, they are giving that raise to all of them. Regardless if they have been working for the store since opening or if they were just hired. That is not fair to the staff who have been working over a year. There's no recognition plan in place. Not so much of a big deal but, I understand as a manager you need to be there for all your shifts. It's hard for managers to call out. My sick days and days owed can't be used.
