Pros

SW grants new employees (in field positions) a level of independence and autonomy that most companies might reserve for more tenured individuals. Trust is instilled in the employee from Day 1, allowing them to learn in a low stress environment and have meaningful interactions with management at all levels.

Cons

In order to advance yourself quickly, one will most likely have to relocate to different areas of the country, possibly two or three times.

Pros

Good pay and good benefits.

Cons

Weekend hours are unjustifiable,8 to 5 on Saturday and 10 to 4 on Sunday, very unfair to employees who have families or are church goers. Upper management is very ungrateful and disrespectful to store employees. My manager has made just as much money for SW in a 1.5 mil store as most 3 mil and up stores do in his 21 years of service and he is treated as if he is worthless. Price is always going to be an issue.

Pros

great stepping stone job. Meet some great people and the training is the best there is to offer.

Cons

District Managers and regional mangers can be a pain to deal with. District Managers like to choose there favorites and forget about the rest of their team. They also like to cheat out their team by providing less bonuses for the ones that work harder than others.
