They have childrens workshops on the weekends that really get the kids involved. -They are very much about community involvement. You have the opportunity to go out and help your local community whether it be to build a new park or help paint a new house.
Cons
-Once your are an employee your compensation increase upon promotion is not consistant with the pay rate of non employees just coming on board. -Too much of the "old school" mentality. Although we try to get create consistancy those who have been around for a long time are given a "pass" on following the rules. The days of the renegade managers needs to end. -Hours for associates are synonymous with sales so if you have a low sales day then you need to cut hours. This is terrible management.We can give away all of the discounted things we want but until we change this we will still have overworked associates and unhappy customers!
