Pros

None. Do not waste your time with this sweat shop company.

Cons

Promises, promises, promises but no delivery on the promises. They promise you store manager positions; they promise to pay you for travel expenses when "training " in remote stores from the main store being "trained" at and never deliver. The management trainee program is a joke. I waited six months after I finished the management training program for a store manager position to open up in the local or regional area. Then I was told that I would soon be let go since I did not have a store manager position after completing the program. I was promised a store manager position in the local area, even if they had to fire someone to make it happen. They just use you to pug the vacant position holes that they have created and will not fill because they say they do not have the funding to fill the vacant positions, then they have a wine & dine all expenses paid week long event for the area store managers and sells representatives at places like Disney World. The store I was "training" in, the AC unit kept breaking down and we would have to wait for several weeks for approval for the unit to be repaired each time and the summers in Florida get hot quickly in the morning and throughout the day inside of a none cooled store. The customers were even complaining.

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.
