Pros

The employee discount is great. The management team within your own district acts as a support system when things get tough, which is beyond refreshing since district managers do anything but support. The company has innovative ideas, but rarely is able to push them into motion successfully.

Cons

If you have a great, supportive District Manager, then your experience may be different. However, I had a District Manager who informed me that a death in the family does not call for coming into work an hour late (using personal time mind you). This same DM also informed me that school is not important to any employee and that store managers who are truly dedicated to their business would be in on their days off. Mind you, there are no days off because as a store manager you are constantly in your store finishing the tasks that you couldn't complete the day before. The expectations are just absolutely ridiculous with the amount of hours that you receive on a weekly basis. If an employee gets overtime, it's a HUGE issue...however most stores are running on a two manager staff - if that, due to constant turnover. There is no work-life balance, and it isn't unusual for a store manager to contemplate sleeping in their store to finish a task - I've personally done it as well as two other store managers who were in my district at the time. Upper management sets you up for failure and is the first to complain when something goes wrong. This company really needs to evaluate how much time a task takes to complete and figure out how that goes hand in hand with servicing customers. They also need to understand that as younger individuals, we would like to have a life outside of Pac.
