Pros

Very, very, very safety conscious. Willing to spend money on certain equipment upgrades. Interesting style of training.

Cons

Lack of common sense. Claim to be willing to spend money to improve or maintain the machinery, but deny most expense requests for replacement parts. High management turnover. Have trouble telling the truth to unionized employees. Seem to always be looking for ways to reduce wage expenditures, without overtly trying to break the union. Keep local management in the dark about future plans. Have lied at least twice since corporate take-over 3 years ago. First about reducing the work force, and second about laying off union employees. Seem to think we are just group of under educated half-wits that need to be lead by the hand and shown how to do things "THE GREAT AMERICAN WAY!!!!!" Ugh. Our future here is very uncertain. 100 plus years of Canadian business down the drain.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
