Good People, Bad Pay

Pros

Good Benefits, exempt employees are engaged in the business.

Cons

The company punishes those who will not relocate from big market stores and hand out bonuses to managers in store that do significantly less work in new markets off the backs of big market employees. Company shows a lot of favoritism behind closed doors. Employees are significantly underpaid compared to similar jobs at competing companies.

Pros

Good benefits and training. Great atmosphere, laid back and somewhat casual. CEO and top execs are very down to earth and came to our store and had a bbq with us. It was great, felt like a family.

Cons

Typical salaried job, coming in on your days off. Big corporate structure, bosses of bosses, etc. Some bureaucracy
