Great Company to Work For - Main Floor Sales Associate Kittery Trading Post Employee Review

Pros

The scheduling is the same every week so you always know when you are working and they are usually accommodating if you need time off. Full Time employees are eligible for health benefits and accrue vacation time that never expires. Both managers and fellow associates are friendly and welcoming, there is no competitive atmosphere. If you work hard it will be noticed and acknowledged/rewarded. I feel great knowing that the company I work for contributes back to the community by donating to land conservation and helping other local charities. The Employee Activities Committee is always putting on some sort of event like Salad Day, Pizza Day, Barbecues, etc which is great if you love free food like I do!

Cons

The employee discount isn't great but you can usually get better deals going through the vendors themselves with a prodeal. Its a retail job so it can get a little repetitive and customers aren't always appreciative. The salary isn't great to start with but depending on performance typically there are raises and bonuses at every yearly review. The company almost always hires from within however there isn't a lot of turnover in the higher positions so job advancement is slow.

Pros

great products, great customers, great frontline employees.

Cons

Terrible leadership. Gossip Factory at all staff levels. Because much of the leadership has been there, and only there, for decades, they have not been exposed to any diversity of business practices, therefore KTP is stuck in the business/thought processes of the 1980's and unwilling to evolve with the times. Because of their legacy and perfect location, they make money in spite of terrible leadership. In most other businesses, the leadership has earned their way to the top via solid skills and traits. In a family run business, ownership doesn't require leadership skills. You're born on third base but can act like you hit a triple.
