Pros

Good products overall. Good relationships with co workers. Good work environment. Not many other good things that I can think of.

Cons

Upper management has no clue what they are doing. Tom and David Oreck are not running the company anymore. New management is and since then, it's a terrible place. Pay has been cut by over half in many cases. We live daily under constant threats and micro managing. Corporate headquarters are only marginal when help is needed. Often we do not seek help from them for fear of the problem backfiring. What does upper management do? They look at stats but are clueless at what they see. Here's a true example...if your store had a bad day last year of just $ 30 in sales and this year on that date, you did $40, you get praised, " good job you increased sales 25%!" But if you did $4,000 last year and only $3,800 this year, there is no praise. You failed to meet last years sales. I could go on and on but I wont.
