Pros
You get paid weekly. You work with some great co-workers and guests. There are lots of opportunities for front line team members to become hourly supervisors. Fast paced, never dull.
Cons
Unrealistic expectations with hours given. And as earlier reviewers said, Regional Managers know it and hands are tied to fix it. Our Regional would have all GMs use a day off to go to another store once a month to get that store caught up. Only there would be no way to maintain it. The fact that only this year did they decide to conduct an associate opinion survey shows just how out of touch upper management is. We were given an Ipad to perform admin tasks on the floor instead of in the office and then they added a bunch of new admin tasks to the Ipad to keep you from managing your team/taking care of your guests. We were sold a bill of goods earlier this year when they eliminated all salaried co-managers (assistant GM's). We were told there would be a increase in weekly hours to offset the loss of the salaried manager but the hours stayed the same until they were decreased. I guess Jimmy decided he had to make back his $92MM fine all this year. And how Mitch Steenrod (CFO) still has his job is beyond comprehension; either he knew about the rebate scam and should have been terminated/imprisoned or was too incompetent to know about the rebate scam and should have been terminated. You can manage your store to the standards or to pass Internal Audit or stay off of whatever report on Ipad usage they want to look at that week. Pick where you want to fail.
