An OK place to work, it's what you make of it.

Pros

If you're a half decent employee, you're more likely to get better hours and easier to get time off. The discount is fairly reasonable compared to other places, however they could probably do a little better because their margins are very high.

Cons

Hours have been greatly cut, the big wigs don't realize that not everyone wants a scorecard, no matter how hard you try. Employee recognition is horrible.. I mean people that win employee of the month don't even know they won! And they don't get anything, just a piece of paper saying they won. It also seems as though you could do everything right and do better than expected, but the upper managers will just ask for more, more, more.

Pros

Growth opportunity, compettitive environment, fun place to be. The company is constanly examining ways to be better at everything we do - especially compete. It is a lot of fun to be part of the winning team. The company's senior leadership is passionate about being number one. They are not afraid to make the necessary tough decisions to gain a competetive advantage.

Cons

Despite strong performances, pats on the back are often hard to come by... Incentive compensation is nice, but it also nice to hear you are doing a good job during the year. The company has addressed significant communication shortfalls recently, but not all managers have followed suit. Information is typically easy to get now.
