Pros

Managers were very flexible with my schedule. I took away so much from the companies foundation principles. All employees have the opportunity to meet the top management staff. At such a large company, that is unheard-of and fabulous. It was easy to sell due to the wonderful, top quality products in stock. Discount was best I’ve ever had!

Cons

Even though the company is fantastic, there are still management styles I didn't agree with. I never understood why the sales manager was in her office 95% of the time vs. being on the floor. Would have been nice to see her sell and teach others. Sad that more full-time employment opportunities weren't provided.

Pros

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Cons

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
