Pros

Good employee discounts and company product is pretty well made. Some good employees but most of the best employees have left the company.

Cons

Company strategy is pretty chaotic. Executive management does not communicate to the employees and they seem to have constantly changing strategies. High turnover, best employees leave Departments do not work well together HR department is not strong, no strategy and HR head seems like he spends most of time planning company events and lunches. Company has tried to use an ill-planned HR training program that comes across like "the circle of trust" - employees don't trust it, just drop it once and for all. CEO is constantly talking about selling the company, and making a lot of money, just sell already.

Pros

Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

Cons

The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
