Okay for a retail job, but too conservative for my taste - Store Manager Bose Employee Review

Pros

Employee Discount was really good. The "loaner" home theater system after 90 days. Managers only required to work 40 hours (allthough more were typically needed).

Cons

LOTS AND LOTS of defective product returns made it hard to believe in selling high priced consumer electronics. Management systems antiquated. Ultra conservative. A sense of "inbreeding" on the inside when coming from the outside. If you haven't been there 10 years, your opinion doesn't matter.

Pros

Major transformation in progress. New Senior Leadership team making all the right moves. Transparent executive communications to employees. Shedding the old obsolete ways while keeping the Bose Essence

Cons

Lots of change all at once (but it is communicated - it is not a surprise)
