Pros

You can have fexible hours which for me is a good. The pay is reasonable for the work required. If you are full time the benefits are good. Even as regular part time you are eligible to participate in the 401K program and you received contributions toward a pension plan. Though the amount can vary quite a bit, you receive spiffs based on how well your store is meeting their goals.

Cons

Your hours are not gauranteed unless you are a salaried associate. If business is slow, your hours can be cut. The 4th quarter is the worst of the this. The reduction is hours at the end of the year can also lead to inadequate staff to get the job done. The stores are open retail hours so evenings and weekends are part of the job.

Pros

when I first started it was a very employee based company. Great discounts, great benefits. Regional managers were swift to help if we had questions and offer support

Cons

Since last year the environment has changed vastly. They no longer care about the employees and only want results. They have raised prices and insurances dont cover as well as they used to and they expect the managers to just force people to buy. If you dont make your monthly goals youre put on a PIP and the Regionals are constantly threatening you to make them. The work life balance does not exist. There is a group chat with your fellow store managers hosted by the Regional and if its your day off they still expect a response. I know it comes from the top down but the micromanaging has gotten so awful. Down to the minute you must be scheduled correctly. I have been here for 3 years and have never had a positive review even though our store has exceeded its goals. Doesnt matter to them, they expect more and more. They raise goals constantly and the only answer they have for making sure we hit those goals is no one leaves, even though they can get the same product from a competitor at a much lower cost.
