Pros

I have a DM who is very supportive and nice to work for. My Team Members are great and we have an awesome team. Most of the customers are fine too - just treat people well and they'll do the same in return. Not rocket science here.

Cons

Frontier Program (lots of extra work with no extra hours), FedEx pilot, Beauty programs, cutting payroll hours over AND OVER again, cutting Profit Sharing sharply, cutting other benefits, expecting more to be done with less, letting older stores get run down and not maintaining them...I really wonder what the heck is going on sometimes. I'm ready to leave, but unfortunately I can't make my current salary anywhere else starting out. So I'm sticking around and doing my best to keep my store and employees (AKA Team Members) happy so my life runs more smoothly. And no, I'm not in my 50s - I'm in my upper 30s. Ugh.

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
