A great place to work.

Licensed retail manager

Business Outlook

Pros

There is alot of support from management and corporate. The company takes the time to offer associate surveys and follows up with the information provided. Many people have been with the company for a long time which says something for itself. For the most part it is enjoyable to come to work. The company is really working to be successful in an unsuccessful economy and have come up with some great ideas to help motivate employees. Benefits are great including numerous holidays and alot of paid time off. Moving up is easy but you have to be very self motivated.

Cons

Training can be a bit unorganized and the roll out of new programs is usually not coordinated well.

Training builds a good team and is what helps the $$$ come faster in the long run.

Pros

Benefits that you get for even a part timer.

Cons

Managers don't keep to Training Schedule. I was given x2 weeks of training instead of the designed 16 weeks. Being told to, " just do it." or " Just figure it out." So, rather than being trained to do something that should take 2 minutes, I take 30 minutes to an hour trying to figure out something. That time could have been used to make another sale. As a manager, how can I train others if I wasn't trained either.

Pros

You can have fexible hours which for me is a good. The pay is reasonable for the work required. If you are full time the benefits are good. Even as regular part time you are eligible to participate in the 401K program and you received contributions toward a pension plan. Though the amount can vary quite a bit, you receive spiffs based on how well your store is meeting their goals.

Cons

Your hours are not gauranteed unless you are a salaried associate. If business is slow, your hours can be cut. The 4th quarter is the worst of the this. The reduction is hours at the end of the year can also lead to inadequate staff to get the job done. The stores are open retail hours so evenings and weekends are part of the job.
