Pros

good people, nice people, clean store.

Cons

extremely heavy lifting will only put one person on shift and youre loading grills, trampolines, 200 pound weight sets etc ALONE. got 7 hours in one week schedule and asked why the low hours, was told everyone's hours were cut, but the others would have like 30 hours. the pay is not enough for what you do in one shifts and they expect you to live off a 2 week paycheck of a total of 20 hours.

Pros

You get discounts. Not your Military discount though.

Cons

Store Manager refuses to allow team members that are veterans to utilize the Military discount. Store Manager has specific customers that own their own gun Store come into Auburn Academy and allows for stacking of any and all discounts available. Store manager shops at said customers store instead of his own company. Store Manager doesn't even greet team members. Always leads with negativity, which then upsets the team members as it's mostly college age team members. Management set unrealistic goals that had been accomplished for multiple leaders before me, and they came with a promise of wage increase once reached. With huge laughter when I said it would be done. Well once goal reached in roughly half the time that was given as a verbal estimate, Store Manager and another salaried manager became so jealous that a team was built that they could not accomplish for multiple reporting periods and multiple Opperations Leads before me. So once they had their team built. They targeted my time in which to develope any more team members, scheduled me to cover other team leads shifts while that team lead was in the building just conversing throughout the store. District Manager spoke to me one time through 10+ visits. I approached and greeted him every visit. I was acknowledge with a head not 2 times. The one time spoken to, it was to have my team do the opposite of customer service, JUST A GROSS CULTURE.
