Pros

The benefits are awesome. Yearly raises based on performance review is ok. Great bonus potential for managers.

Cons

Some people are DM and should not be, some people still have management jobs and should not. Union rules make it hard to weed out bad eggs and make it difficult to allow quality employees to shine. If we had less losers hanging on to their jobs..the hours spent would yield better results from the remaining star employees. The company is huge....and is doing well but trying to run it Some expectations are unrealistic. no bonuses for the associates.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
