Pros

defined mission and measured job performance leading to expanded opportunity.

Cons

unionized in VA and many of the "protected" union workers should be fired - they drag the store performance overall down in both a place to work and progress

Pros

Do not have to think much. Management wants you to do what they want instead of what is best for the company.

Cons

There is no way to provide feedback on the performance of immediate management. Manager can do or say whatever they want about the subordinates without ways for them to voice their opinions. Personal retaliation from manager to employees occur often.
