Pros

Not many... I guess if I had to mention one it would be work/life balance. Stores mostly closed on weekends and reps not expected to work.

Cons

Clueless middle and upper management is the biggest one. Also, company paid considerably less than most competitors. No organization chart, no HR support, no LP presence. No room for advancement as they constantly look outside the company instead of promoting from within. For such a large company, benefits are average at best and pretty expensive. No appreciation from middle and upper management for delivering results. Instead they like to either nitpick you over little things or say nothing at all and get rid of you. Little or no training provided as middle management is completely incompetent and have no clue where to start. I could go on and on.... stay away from the stores division unless you like being treated with little respect, like being underpaid and underappreciated, and enjoy being taught next to nothing but expected to deliver results.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
