Pros

You are paid weekly here.

Cons

“We Love Our Employees” goes to “No one is forced to work here, don’t like it, leave. Good luck in this job market” after six months or so. The above is a direct quote from Loscar Mejia, the senior manager. They will fire employees of 18 years because they “don’t need them anymore” then suddenly have a need for that position to fill with the new-hire rate. Lies. Managers and Supervisors will lie constantly. The truth will be what happens to be convenient for them at that moment, and any other version didn’t happen at all. They consider a 3.5% raise to be miles above a 3% raise. That’s what you get, yearly. Unless they’ve decided to not do them this year. Or the last. Business is great, unless you’re asking for money, then it’s dark dark times.

Pros

Everyone from director level on down in my department was great. Very collaborative. Gave you autonomy to do and try new things.

Cons

Where do I start…Sr. Leadership is TERRIBLE. I mean absolutely horrific. No direction and plans were changing at the drop of a dime after the BB&B “merger”. You could feel the shift in the culture, just NASTY attitudes and taking the employees for granted. The new CEO and the rest of Sr. level execs acted like everyone was just expendable workhorses. They touted reopening the headquarters cafe as some awesome benefit so they could bring people back to the office full time. If you’re going to be bullish and require everyone back, have some guts and just do it. But don’t act like a cafe is some life changing benefit to get everyone excited. Anyway, blind leading the blind. The merit increase or raises - non existent. No 401k match. Nothing positive because the company is so broke. The new store concept sounds a mess. Save yourself and don’t even apply, let alone accept an offer. Joel Bines is no longer the CEO. He was a great guy and I think he had great ideas. Marcus Lemonis is the new CEO and I would give him a thumbs down.
