Pros
Decent benefits if you are full time and salaries. Good resources on campus (banking, daycare, etc) for those that work on campus
Cons
- "Boys Club" mentality. Often promote friends vs Qualified Candidates - Gap between corporate employees understanding retail and big box (actually working inside a store) - Local Market Team is VERY disconnected from their employees and often don't take the time to understand each individual store and manager - Local Market Team (Minneapolis) is very inconsistent with accountability and goals = favoritism is an issue with the Market Team - Doesn't listen to employees and often sweep issues (including HR issues) "under the rug" - Store Employees are not valued in the Minneapolis Market - Company allows Directors, including Market Directors that manage an entire market of stores, to not even live in the market for a year!! Therefore, management doesn't even make it in to all the stores in their market for at least a year and we waste THOUSANDS on travel for them
