Pros

Best retail hours available. A good place to learn management skills, meeting new people in the community.

Cons

Company policy not black and white. To many gray areas. The operations manual says one thing, and you are asked to do another. Turn over rate is extreemly high due to lack of management skills at a higher level. Poor communication between upper and lower management. All centers do not work together, in fact sometimes they work against each other.

Thank you for your advice. Our upper management is here to guide and support the field staff, but to have them spend a few days out of the month in the center would cause other areas of work to suffer. However, CEO Patrick O'Shaughnessy now requires all employees at corporate to work in a center a couple of days a year.

Pros

Great training and leadership courses online. Easy job. Easy to promote if you put in the effort and not just go for a paycheck. Bonuses are a plus

Cons

You mostly work by your self. Some zoom meeting which makes it boring.
