Pros

Flex time is good to balance work and personal life. Thats about all.

Cons

They always start people a level below where their skill set is. For instance someone who was a Director previously would come in as a Manager. Don't expect to move around in the company. Whatever department you start in is where you will remain. They are slow to give promotions. Average wait time is 3 to 5 years. Company mindset is male driven. If you don't like sports, racing, or Appalachin State you won't do well here. They claim you have educational benefits then say there is no money to pay for it when you want to use the benefit.

Pros

Some amazing customers and coworkers. Tasks and systems were easy to learn. Sometimes you get lucky and have amazing ASMs and SMs. It's easy to get a good survey when you treat customers like friends, be honest about what you do and don't know, and work to learn what you don't. That goes a long way with customers. I personally truly loved my job and loved spending as much time as I could at work.

Cons

Once you are on someones S*** List they will make it possible to get rid of you. Management only follows policy when it benefits them. Some people get promoted when they have no business working in retail as a leader. The A/C in the store I worked in was always broken during the summer, which made it miserable to work. Some customers are entitled due to they way management will kiss their butts to keep from losing a sale or getting a bad review. Management will make a paper trail to write you up if you mess up or are struggling instead of helping you better yourself. Management does not care about employees' work-life balance. Management does not care if their employees are struggling with personal issues like car troubles, health issues, financial issues, etc. Management will get rid of great employees but keep people who don't pull their weight. Once I hit burnout, instead of helping me, I was punished by my managers. In turn making me hate a job I truly loved.
