Pros

You can advance pretty far pretty fast if you try.

Cons

They throw absolutely everything away instead of donating it, even if items are in perfect condition! I am not talking about a few things here and there, but 20 lamps at a time, $10,000 worth of locks and door handles, rolls of carpeting, 5-10 ceiling fans.... all because they didn't sell. They claim to be "environmental," but is the farthest thing from it! The associates are mad about it, but management is directed by corporate, to have no exceptions.

Pros

it's close to my home.

Cons

no employee discounts! only 6 days of holidays for the year (most companies have 11). no sick time. the HQ is poorly planned, poorly maintained (carpet repaired with duct tape), and even the signs for the exit point the wrong way in the parking deck. outdated IT systems (when i started in 2005, the software loaded on the computer was office 97!). boys club vibe from the top all the way down. on top of all this, employees were encouraged & expected to participate in a corporate cheer at meetings to show company loyalty.
