Pros
LGC has its strengths. Personal day allotment is reasonable, employees are very close-knit and work as a team to meet goals, the 20% employee discount on store merchandise is more than generous.
Cons
The main trouble with LGC is with the people who call the shots but aren't in the stores everyday, regional management. It suffers from a crippling, Machiavellian leadership style and does not pay attention to the true day-to-day needs of the store. For example, the weekly truck is often overloaded with items the store already has and does not have any room for, and leaves employees scrambling to either overload a cramped backroom with overstock, or clutter the store floor with unnecessary floor displays in order to get rid of the excess merchandise. Regional management is either unwilling or unable to fix this problem, leading to A LOT of wasted money and resources on their part. This along with slow response time to employee requests, incompetent decision-making, and an Office Space-type emphasis on small, bureaucratic details has lead to increasing tension amongst employees, along with lower morale and high turnover rates.
