Pros
An effective Loss Prevention Department structure that is focused on promotional opportunities at the store/unit level (One manager, one or more agents in a unit). This structure has remained unchanged or unthreatened since i've been with the company. Technical/equipment improvements have been made, such as significant investments into digital camera systems. The company's LP department focuses priority on theft resolution (Internal/External Apprehension Performance) more so than audits or operational issues.
Cons
Extremely unstable and inconsistent staffing. Turnover rate is astronomical. In three years with the company, I can think of two people on the LP side of the business that have not quit or been terminated. Senior leadership is inconsistent with direction and information. Promotional opportunities are rare, and favoritism is a major issue.
