Pros
- Great learning experience, if your senior management decides to show you the rope. - A lot of vacation days - Employee discounts - Many opportunities to jump jobs within the company.
Cons
- HR department is not sales oriented. They are more concerned with their hiring and retention goals rather than hiring and keeping the right people to meet sales goals. - Department managers are mostly rated based on sales not profit. This leads to problem in dishonest managers giving extra discounts to boost sales. Just because you have great sales doesn't mean you have a good profit margin. - Lack of communication throughout the entire organization. This problem leads to lost sales opportunities and chaos during heavy volume days. - Lack of priorities in cutting expenses. The store will spend money on painting the senior executive's office rather than investing that expense into payroll. The more people you have to sell, the higher your sales will be. Having a great store manager's office only affect one person.
