Pros

As far as the store I am in there are a lot of good things. The management team is fair and tries to support you with what ever you have going on. We are a family in this store.

Cons

Management above the store manager and beyond all the way to corporate give the impression that they have not the slghtest idea of what is really going on in the real world. They do not back any of their employees when it comes to unruly customers or customers who are outright cheating. They expect us to work with inferior equipment and then wonder why some things don't get done.Instead of going out and buying two bankrupt companies they should have used that money to upgrade equipment and stores. Now they are insulting our intelligents by issuing signs and photos on how to bag merchandise and how to unload a truck. Give me a break, I have been in retail for 30 years and have learned this stuff already. How much did that cost the company and what efficiancy expert did they pay for that.?
