Pros

Fun environment to work in! They train you very very well and they have the best sales team! It is a place where the employees WANT to help their customers. They genuinely are not just trying to sell you stuff they are invested in finding the right solution for each person who comes through the door.

Cons

They talk a lot about having opportunity to grow and advance however that isn't always the case. If a position becomes available they usually have the person they want chosen and push them through the proper channels. Anyone else who is interested in that position doesn't hear about it until after it has been "filled."

Pros

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Cons

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
