They Customers are friendly.

Your never board of work.

Cons

Crapy management. No one lesons you.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to work on Criticism Skills.

Pros

Great pay, bonuses, recognition, benefits, usually a great work environment as well. I enjoyed the communication I found at the first location in which I worked, although it was not as satisfactory at the second.

Cons

The communication at one of the locations at which I worked was not nearly as good as it could or should have been.

Advice to Senior Management

Take into consideration your employee's personal lives and even their professional goals a bit more when considering schedule agreements and assignments.

Pros

Great benefits, close to home, some good coworkers. I've made some friends there, and I can usually get say, Christmas vacation to see my family which lives a long distance away.

Cons

No respect for employees, not-so-subtle threats management makes at us, and treating us like children if we don't perform means our morale is dropping. Fast. And stop with the propoganda. We're not that stupid and we know something's wrong with the company and getting more so. I am feeling less like a human being and more like a combination of customer punching bag, draft mule, and credit milk cow the longer I work there.

Advice to Senior Management

'Beatings will continue until morale improves' DOES NOT WORK AS A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. Nor is forcing out your experienced workers so you can pay the poor suckers you hire in their place less. You are cutting your own collective throat, and the saddest part is you don't seem to care as long as you get your own hefty bonuses in the short term.

And what is with your *damnable* obsession with us having customers open your (ludicrously high interest rate, few perks) credit accounts?! Isn't this part of how this country got into the recession we're in right now in the *first* place? If you spent a fraction of the energy you do on this on oh, actually running and maintaining the stores you would be in a far, far better place.

Pros

You can meet interesting people and learn alot about repairs, if you are a proactive person and want to learn.

Cons

California store managers seem to follow their own rules, and if you contact corporate then you are usually fired. Low salaries and work you like....

Advice to Senior Management

You advertise that the associates are professional( in the dept;.), which is not true. If you paid a desend salary maybe more associates would have the incentive to learn more on their own.

Pros

- Pay is more than minimum wage.
- As a PT employee, I average more than 15 hours per week.
- Casual dress environment.
- If you work FT you get some decent benefits.
- Nice level of training about the company (safety, benefits etc).
- Store is busy so the days go by fast.

Cons

- Sometimes you are the only person in the department - difficult to answer phone calls, customer questions, customer service and do other job functions at the same time!
- No employee discount. The company makes millions a year in profit but cannot offer a once a year or twice a year employee discount????
- Management does not communicate properly to their employees. Being rude and a bully does not a manager make.
- Store is busy so the days go by fast so you sometimes can't get all your work done.

Advice to Senior Management

- Communicate - be friendly to the employees and not treat them like your employees.
- Help Out - it would sometimes be nice if you could assist a customer instead of just walking away and having someone else do it. Wandering around the store is not a job.
- Help Out! - Answer when you are paged to a dept, assist a customer, stop nagging employees maybe they would be more productive if you spoke to them in a nicer way.

Pros

I enjoy the associates that I work with, and the supervisors, ASMs, and SM are all nice as well. My position is in the early a.m. monday-friday so I enjoy knowing that I have fixed hours and weekends off. Our District Operations Manager is a good guy and really likes the feedback we give him regarding the position.

Cons

Some rude customers here and there. Sometimes the work load is rather large for a part-time job.

Advice to Senior Management
