Mixed up mess

Pros

PTO, medical benifits(just above average now), 401k

Cons

Reorganization this past year was done poorly. Many coworkers and previous managers that have been with the company for many years got demoted and large paycuts. Newer mangers and coworkers were promoted through this reorg. Not because they were best fit, though they could have been, but because they were cheaper. There is now more hourly (cheaper) middle management in some departments then before and less salary management. More separation between the different color shirts (yellow vs blue shirts). Some jobs are now only part of new Hubs which are only open Monday-Friday. Certain departments have been severely demoralized such as the design department in the store. They went from a creative team that did a lot of planning and creating interesting local solutions to a team that isn’t allowed to think on their own. It’s a mess. The coworkers are working their butts of trying to make it work but the pervasive anger and disappointment coming off of those that were snubbed in the process has been even more toxic then the poorly managed change.

Pros

Paid training, paid time off, 401k plan, and medical benefits. You can can work indivially or work as a team member here. The more you know the more you can get paid! Great business

Cons

Don't really have anything negative to say about this company, they take time to care for there employees and they pay for the uniforms. They also have cool events outside of work for the employees.

Pros

Paid Vacation Sick Time Good Benefits

Cons

Abusive management Negative work environment Gossipy co-workers Punished for using sick time if ever needed Not allowed to take vacation time even though it is available to use Playing favorites Co-workers quit on the spot because of the abuse Write up good workers so the company does not have to pay for raises Food Service Workers run this dish room even though it is not mentioned as a responsibility during interviews Management will not break employees, yet employees still are punished if they do not take breaks Management will not work with the schedules of their co-workers They will mess up your new availability, refuse to fix it, tell you to figure you out, and punish you if you cannot come in one day (college students especially) They work co-workers with 103 degree fevers and will not let them go home or take additional breaks They will take away your hours when they are blowing their sales out of the water Micromanagement and harassment are issues They do not care if you struggle with a chronic condition. They will not accomodate you. They do not follow company values They will have you in the dish room for months at a time and not care if you get hurt This location does not practice sustainable practices I could go on...
