Pressured and lacking leadership.

Pros

If it's not your career, its a decent job. Easy work.

Cons

Compensation sucks, management doesn't give a crap about anything except if it looks like works getting done, employee motivation is low and they skip corners in their work.

Good team and guests, poor management and incentive system.

Pros

Fun casual place to work. They actually offer a good amount of discounts on all types of things through my benefits. Easy to move up... to a fault.

Cons

They do not promote to executive management from within. I've heard mutters of 80% of their new executives they like to be recent college grads and that explains why are executives are always at career fairs when they have a big pool of college educated hourly management in the store. It can also be very political. The pay is not very good for someone in hourly management or a team member. I think they need to take a page from Costco, Hobby Lobby, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's especially when everybody in the store knows what the Executive Team Leaders are Making.
