Pros

Benefits for now but they will change soon. Uniforms provided, lunch is 3 but tastes horrible. Bi-weekly pay and PTO when they approve it.

Cons

Restructuring of the company was a bad idea. Lost great managers in the process. Company has turned into the typical greedy American company. Mark my word more cuts will come A Union needs to be formed to protect co workers. Do more with less. The worst customer centric company. Even less consideration for associates. Field office associates clue less to what actually happens in the stores. Turn over is sure to triple or more soon.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
