Sales associate

CEO approval

Pros

Good full time and part time benefit package. 401 k, health, vision, dental, long and short term dissability, life insurance, Bonuses ( few and far between)

Cons

Things are constantly changing, there are so many managers and none of them are on the same page. One will tell you one way to do something and another will come right along and tell you right the opposite of what the other said. Very large turn over. To much help when you don't need it and never enough when you do. Not flexible with hours or days available to work, must be available open to close, 7 days a week. Time off must be requested 30 days in advance.

Be prepared to work hard for little recognition.

Department manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I get great satisfaction of getting great feedback from customers and have recived several awards from customers emailing corporate on how I have taken care of their needs. On a local level you MAY hear back from senior management that someone said something good about your service but generally it pushed aside. It is only recognized when an email is sent to corporate.

Cons

Rotating schedules that in any given week you WILL start before opening to the public and also be closing the store possiblythe next day by starting mid afternoon. No matter what progress you may have made in fixing or correcting problems or issues there are always more that need to be addressed, and those are the only ones that matter to senior management - not the progress you have made - but on those that you have not gotten to address. The work that needs to be done in the time alloted is seldom sufficient to PROPERLY COMPLETE a task before management has you moving on to the next. Then you are called to task for not completing the first properly or completely.

little tolerance for mistake, even when they don't explain the expectations.
