Pros

The people I worked with there were great. Once you get into a supervisory postition, or god forbid management, all hell breaks loose and things just start to unravel.

Cons

You get punished for the things you do wrong harshly, and NEVER awknowledged for the things you do well, or correctly. It's a very negative place to work and after a year or so, I absolutely dreaded going in. I was stacked with more and more complex assignments which I enjoyed, but when I realized I was doing 3 peoples positions (supervisor, employee and expediter) for the price of one, I got irritated.

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.
