Pros

-Employee discount is very generous. -Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years days off. -Salary wages have finally increased.

Cons

-The buy team does a horrible job at choosing what items should be brought into the stores. -A few of the HR team members show a bit more favor towards certain leaders than others. -The operations team needs to look at figuring out better communication/timeline in getting information out to teams for tasks that need to take place. -Even if you are a top performing leader, the company will still overlook you and not give you a shot to move up with the company. -Lack of integrity surrounding metrics and no follow up actions for stores/leaders who continue to do so.

Pros

Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

Cons

The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
