Pros

They tend to recognize people who know what they are doing.

Cons

Regardless of what upper management says, they do not put enough people on the salesfloor and they do not give them real training. As a result, anyone who does not want to do the work of 3 people is working in the wrong place. I will say in their defense that Lowes isn't any better.

Pros

In a hard retail market, a job is a job. It is a beautiful store with potential

Cons

1)Horrible management. senior managers contradict one another. 2)Morning "pep rallies" are excuses to lecture on what employees are doing wrong, so employees begin the sales day tense and unhappy. 3) Unreasonable expectations - we can't sell if people are not in the store.

Pros

Flexible schedule, good coworkers, and decent entry pay for people who don't have degrees.

Cons

Management micro manages far too much, the health benefits are mediocre at best and are expensive, and promotions often come with twice the responsibility and a dollar or two raise.
