Pros
Long standing company in the market, over 130 years. Offer comparable benefits package to other companies. Has advancement opportunities. General feeling of family within the stores among the associates.
Cons
The upper management has lost its focus on valuing its associates across the board. Upper management has greatly strayed from its core values of honesty, integrity, inclusion, etc... Management has gone to a management style of intimidation and threatening to get results. Advancement within management has become very politically driven rather than merit driven even when solid numbers and metrics are being met. Store management is being mircomanaged in such a way they cannot run stores to be able to take care of their associates or customers effectively.
