Pros

Performance oriented, they are always striving to be better than not just the competition, but themselves as well. Most driven company I have ever worked for. Focused on success. The Executive level was highly accomplished and capable.

Cons

Mid and entry level executive management such as District Managers and RVP seem to be in fear for their jobs at all times. I saw a great deal of turnover at this level, and most in these positions seemed to act out of fear instead of driving the business properly. The frantic pace coupled with perfect execution leads to chaos at times focused on trivial things as opposed to customers and business. Drop everything tasks directing you to move widget X two spots to the left on the gondola would require sign offs to 3 different people, and 7 Emails regarding the movement of a single widget. Most were capable of running their business with less interference, which would have led to higher service and sales figures.
