Pros

I honestly have nothing good to say about the company.

Cons

I was offered a position after my interview with the recruiter who yawned continuously throughout my interview. I was told my days off would be Mondays and Tuesdays. I asked about a trip I had planned and she told me I would have to talk to my supervisor once I was hired. Changed the trip to my new days off. A week later, before starting I received a letter that my days off changed . Go to training, what a joke!!!!! They give you so much information and tell you that if you don't want to quit everyday, there is something wrong. They tell people to "retrain" their bladders because once out of training, you won't be able to go very often. People were dropping like flies in the class. People had enough of their empty promises. After the last break of the day, they get a clipboard and call people in to a conference room to talk to them about taking too many pee breaks or telling them bogus information that never even happened. They spend no time training you to answer calls, through you on calls and then the trainers give you no help. The best part is they need to send this class home to begin taking calls, because they had to rehire a new class to fill all of our vacancies.

Pros

I learned a lot working there as far as how to run a business as well as how to develop a team. I had one of the most successful teams in the company ranking as the top store year over year in two separate markets, one in the Northeast one in the Southeast. I was a paragon winner with the company as well. My most recent DM was very supportive. I genuinely thank them for the opportunity and the knowledge that I acquired while working with them.

Cons

Work hours were excessive. To be successful hours worked were borderline slavery. While I willingly worked them to be successful, the week you didn't you were immediately behind. Vacations were almost non existent due to constant visitors from corporate stopping in to do reviews. Holiday weeks were paid 4 days regular 1 holiday and you worked all 5. The facade of the stores looking great when these people stop by versus the reality of the business is polarizing. There were always teams of people and excessive expenditures of payroll thrown into stores prior to their visits. While I understood the need to make an appearance, it was always will always be a backwards way off thinking. Company preaches quality of life for their clients while quality of life for their employees is non-existent. As a "manager" in your average store you will be "managing" a total of one person during your shift, with a total of 10 people at location. Location open hours will exceed total payroll hours ie Sun-Sat 7am-10pm = 15hrs per day x 7 days x 2 people = 210 hrs which excludes the need to have a person unload deliveries that come in during non opened hours. Your budgeted hours will be approximately 208 hrs. I will only mention that during the month of December that there are extended hours for the stores but no budgeted hours to accommodate. Stores are held to strict shrink targets with little to no control over external theft. Remember 2 people at location, if four people enter to steal there is nothing you can do to stop them. These are facts not personal prejudices.
