Pros
The pay scale is frozen at a certain point for certain hourly jobs, even though I might have been in that position for years before receiving a cost of living raise of 12cents, Health care costs high, and a mandatory phone health coach system threatens to drop you alot. Good work hours. Inside work.
Cons
besides the work environment of always cutting corners to get the jobs done, the cheating, the lying on reports, its a decent place to work if you dont care about employees rights and well being. The new program of reporting unsafe work acts is stupid. The cutting hours from the budget is stupid while requiring us to maintain customer service standards. HT wastes alot of money...the things called store walks require a select group[few] employees to work 24 hr days, often off the clock to get things done. When the president ever visits all heck breaks loose and we work longer days on end. then He mightly steps out of his custom bus, and visits the store for 10 minutes and leaves, and he never notices the hard work we[the underlings] put in for the last week. No breaks to speak of cause they dont have enough help to cover them. Lunches if you can. or just clock out for lunch and go back to work to get the work load done. Impossible standards will lead to the employees welcoming a union with open arms. Or maybe the competition from Sc will take all the good employees who are beat down and take better care of them. The HIGHER UP who acted against a stores employee and made contact with them should have been fired immediately, not let run loose to do more damage. And why is it that Sn management gets to go on vacation anytime they want, but the Hourly associates are denied plans...around inventories, and store walks and holidays? Employees cant win any prizes in contests...just customers, so I hope the employees all shop elsewhere.
