Pros

Hard working people (The ones that are left). Most of the employees are willing to help you at the drop of a hat.

Cons

With what is going on in the economy even the General Managers do not know what may be coming down. Salaried employees are used and abused for time. There are too many mandatory this and mandatory that’s leaving employees very tired and having not much family life. The hourly employees get paid for extra time so they have the salaried help put in many, many hours with no compensation. 42K divided by the hours I put in gave me an hourly rate of somewhere around $16/hour. I made that hourly rate 20 years ago.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
