Pros

The family owners of this business truly care about their employees, and the state in which all live and work.

Cons

It's sometimes difficult to communicate opinions contrary to the family's approach to the business.

Pros

Customers are in love with the company except for prices and quality, and get treated well. Employee discounts are generous, but need to be for any employee to afford to buy anything here. Selling things people remember as kids is a hit.

Cons

Management philosophy is as outdated as the products we sell. Employees are squeezed really hard to do more and more with less help every year. Hiring provides only very low-skilled people to save money on salaries. New president is the former finance guy and is a penny pincher and it is wearing away at the staff in many departments. Only concern is bottom line, no genuine concern for finding quaity employees.

Pros

you meet the local slave population

Cons

you would make more money begging on NYC subway for a similar amount of walking you do as a picker; managers are arrogant, vain, and creepy; nobody cares about what do you think or how do you feel (yet you are expected to make their life easier)
