Business outlook
Pros
Peer support, fun merchandise, ongoing education, many wonderful associates who work tirelessly to create a good envirionment for their customers. Succession plans in place.
Cons
too many management tiers, difficult to staff, company constantly in transition- does not stick with what works. analysis paralysis- too much paperwork/data which does not contribute to results. Slow and resistant to change. Unrealistic and unattainable sales goals. Very long hours during peak times (holiday, quarterly store transitions, meetings etc.) . Physical demands of the role- moving furniture, fixtures, unloading trucks, loading customer's vehicles - no stock positions, all of this is accomplished by store associates, store managers and RM's.
