Pros

The people are great. The company is very charitable for some specific organizations that are near and dear to their hearts.

Cons

The attendance point system is ridiculous. Associates receive 2 puts for being late or forgetting to punch in/out 3 points for calling out sick. There are 5 steps then you lose your job when you receive 32 points in a year. There has got to be a better way than this. Some managers get away with coming in late or only working 5 hours but get paid for working 10 no points for management and If they work one hour they only have to use 5 hours of benefit time and get paid for 10. What a racket.!
