Pros

Working for dynamic (at times) and profitable retailer in a tough market. As a n employee we are sought out by competitors due to the amount of respect that they have in the marketplace

Cons

Corporate culture at HQ is too consultant driven as does not do a good job of listening to ground troops (typical in the industry) Lots of youngsters running things at HQ. They are running into a legal buzz saw in California because of their man hour demands on Associates and Managers. Must be #1 in customer service grading with no staff and oh by the way your credit goals must be met! and why do customers say they can't find any staff to help...

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
