Pros

I met some amazing people - none in management

Cons

This company does not care about a single thing other than the pockets getting richer of c-suite level and the family. During COVID they've laid off loyal employees of 10-15+ years over EMAIL. People are treated terribly, underpaid, under-managed, and held to extreme standards without investing a dime into technology or operations that are several decades behind competitors. I cannot believe a company so unorganized and under-developed has lasted this long. Do not buy their sunny florida pitch - everything is worse here than wherever you are currently desperate to leave in the retail industry.

Pros

Prior to New CEO, it was a nice mom and pop operation. Low wages but strong worklife balance and kind regional directors/DMs.

Cons

Industry low wages. Most store managers start around $41k with 10% max bonus, 6% max raise. Associates are min wage. Supervisors are $2 more than min. Lead Supervisors are $16 p/h. No bonus or incentives. Managers were put to salary from hourly. Were told 41 hours. Turned in 47 hours. Turned into you cover all callouts. Stores have poor infrastructure on receiving. Most stockrooms are tiny and have no nestaflex or adequate processing areas. Regional Managers are gods among men. They know all and you are wrong. They make you panic that your store needs to look perfect yet do not provide proper payroll. Payroll is based on planned sales. Not workload. Get an extra truck that week? No extra money. LP is constantly watching and doing everything they can to find internal theft even when nothing is there. Most employees get 10 hours a week. You constantly have to cut full time hours. CEO also purchased several Teslas for the executive team. Meanwhile we got nothing extra for for working covid. No Covid bonus. Nothing. You also keep opening stores and focusing on sales. But profit for 2021 was only $80 million. That's horrid for 600 stores.

Pros

Store has less foot traffic so it's better organized. You have autonomy to make decisions on floor setup. You're not stuck at the register where there's non stop ringing. You learn all aspects of how to manage a store. There's opportunity for overtime.

Cons

Beall's doesn't have individual teams to handle job duties. Managers do way too much! They have to not only supervise employees but be a superhero in other aspects to run the store; such as, on truck days, they help with sorting, opening boxes, pricing merchandise and placement on floor. They have to constantly move fixtures and make room for incoming merchandise. They have to do housekeeping: sweep the floor, clean the bathrooms including scrubbing nasty toilets! Take out trash. Mop the floors. They have to break boxes down and take out to dumpster. There are no individual teams to do these jobs which is putting undo stress on the manager.
