Pros

Solid company to work for. At corporate, if you work hard you can advance, somewhat. A lot of people start out in customer services jobs, which helps them to learn the different aspects of the business. I see many people come from those jobs to higher level jobs. People are treated respectfully. Benefits and retirement plans are good. One of the better vacation allowances still around these days, probably. Upper management makes an effort to keep employees engaged and informed.

Cons

Entry jobs out in the field (stores, distribution, plants) may have less opportunity for advancement, longer hours, and lower pay.

Pros

This company has provided me with multiple opportunities and the doors are always open to talk to upper management. I like the commraderie that is shown when we work together, we have no limits on what we can accomplish. The company really seems to take an interest in you as a person rather than just an employee that works for them.

Cons

LONG hours and ignorant customers, but it is retail and sales so there isnt much that SW can do about that. Long periods of time to wait for bonus compensation and reimbursement checks for expenses, something new has to happen in regard to this, as it becomes really annoying.
