Pros

Great training for management, good compensation and benefits, 100 year old company.

Uncertain of new direction, hiring and promotion slow down

Advice to Senior Management

"More from the core" isn't working.

Pros

The store became a sort of family, and even after I left I still enjoyed visiting and catching up with my former colleagues.

Cons

Some corporate failings in regards to managers, who were often mistreated by their superiors and occasionally passed this maltreatment on to select employees. Store managers receive the short end of the straw, at least from my point of view (below manager).

Advice to Senior Management

Please ensure that your district managers are looking out for the best interests of assistant and store managers, not just the store owners.
