Pros

Great discount with good benefits

Cons

There has been an endless cycle of "reorganization" layoffs with no communication from upper management. You only find out people are gone if you try to email them or book meetings. You find out it was a layoff by gossiping in the halls or calling people who work at the corporate office. For a company that talks a lot about how "we are a family" its a really bad look and is creating a lot of unease within the ranks. It feels like there is a mini layoff every quarter, but because there is no official communication, we don't know. Additionally, they are making really expensive mistakes and throwing good money after bad to try and correct. It is so hard to watch people get laid-off knowing that their salary was flushed down the toilet.

Pros

Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

Cons

The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
