Pros

I cannot even come up with one good reason

Cons

Oh my goodness…. Very misleading job title and duties. They lure you with these promising work from jobs and suck the life out of you. When I was first hired I applied for a 9AM to 5:00PM est shift. It wasn’t until I was done with training that I was told by my new supervisor sorry we don’t have that time shift available we’re looking for mid day shifts.! Training was 5 weeks in total and no where near prepares you what you will do daily. Against my better judgment i stayed thinking you know what maybe I give this job a chance…. Wrong. It’s metrics based so what they don’t tell you is everything and I mean everything is being timed. As a bv rep level 1 I wasn’t aware of the amount of touches management wanted daily; 8 closures, 26 touches, idle and Lock Screen time after four months going in this position. When my supervisor had the time to set aside a heart to heart is what they call it when you first hit production floor. All calls are audited, all accounts you touched are audited . They require everyone to be on phone rotation. It’s a call center in disguise. They have a bv help chat which is nothing but asking questions but even that chat is filled with senior reps who do nothing more than reference pages on where you can find your answers in this webpage they call “The source” which was written by management on how to handle accts and so forth. Changes weekly with no training. But they consider scheduling side by side observations as training. Management plays favoritism. If you work more accounts I was told by a rep on our team management will consider not having you on phones. What? They only care about production and numbers that’s it. Lastly you will end up doing what more than what they tell you on the job description for very little pay. I quit couldn’t do it anymore.

Pros

I learned a lot working there as far as how to run a business as well as how to develop a team. I had one of the most successful teams in the company ranking as the top store year over year in two separate markets, one in the Northeast one in the Southeast. I was a paragon winner with the company as well. My most recent DM was very supportive. I genuinely thank them for the opportunity and the knowledge that I acquired while working with them.

Cons

Work hours were excessive. To be successful hours worked were borderline slavery. While I willingly worked them to be successful, the week you didn't you were immediately behind. Vacations were almost non existent due to constant visitors from corporate stopping in to do reviews. Holiday weeks were paid 4 days regular 1 holiday and you worked all 5. The facade of the stores looking great when these people stop by versus the reality of the business is polarizing. There were always teams of people and excessive expenditures of payroll thrown into stores prior to their visits. While I understood the need to make an appearance, it was always will always be a backwards way off thinking. Company preaches quality of life for their clients while quality of life for their employees is non-existent. As a "manager" in your average store you will be "managing" a total of one person during your shift, with a total of 10 people at location. Location open hours will exceed total payroll hours ie Sun-Sat 7am-10pm = 15hrs per day x 7 days x 2 people = 210 hrs which excludes the need to have a person unload deliveries that come in during non opened hours. Your budgeted hours will be approximately 208 hrs. I will only mention that during the month of December that there are extended hours for the stores but no budgeted hours to accommodate. Stores are held to strict shrink targets with little to no control over external theft. Remember 2 people at location, if four people enter to steal there is nothing you can do to stop them. These are facts not personal prejudices.
