Pros

Able to move up within. Alot of cross learning, open door, communication. Lots of holidays off, great vacation time. Respect and opportunities if you work hard and show capability and a good attitude. Some cases of favoritism, but others of true respect based on merit.

Cons

As with any company depends on the team you work under, how much growth potential you have. Pay raises few and far between, relatively no step structure for experienced vs new promotion; you can only negotiate a higher income when first being offered the job, so other than the meek yearly merit increases a seasoned buyer/planner does not make that much more than one just promoted.

Pros

- Job itself is quite easy - Don't have to deal with full public - Health benefits are nice - Get access to tax free product. - Very generous time off/sick time compared to other companies

Cons

- Management can be difficult to work with and seems inexperience in the technology that the workers are using to do their jobs. - registers, scanner guns, payroll software, store technology in general feels very outdated by todays standers and make it difficult to do my job. -Taking time off is difficult because of how poor management is with operating payroll software. - Hardly any training for new staff. - People that need to be fired aren't let go, but people that do a good job leave because management doesn't do anything about it except file a report. - Constant rotating staff that seems to be never questioned why they're leaving. - Pay is insulting compared to other companies.
