Pros

-Canadian Flagship location, 3 floors of retail and a lower level that is a event space that has played host to the biggest music superstars. -Empowered to create unique offers and promotions for the Toronto Superstore customer differentiating ourselves from any other location in the country. -Constant focus on product mix evolvement, allowing a lot of creativity in merchandising and promotions to encourage the customers to branch out from just purchasing core product lines. -"First name' culture. It's about knowing who you work with and establishing relationships that can benefit the business and your own development.

Cons

-Limited career growth at my level. 5 years of downsizing has restricted the ability to go beyond what I am able to do. -The core product is in a constant battle with technology and how consumers are choosing to purchase home entertainment.

Pros

Verizon excels at providing opportunities to learn and grow. They provide an excellent compensation program with great benefits.

Cons

At the time of my RIF (Reduction in Force), there were no positions available here in Tampa. As I had no desire to relocate, I had to accept the layoff.
