Pros

They pay decent commission rates. They provide decent work hours. They are very flexible with scheduling. Flexible management attitudes. Nice co-workers.

Cons

The starting base pay is a little on the low side. They dont provide much training at all. I was just thrown out on the sales floor.

Pros

Benefits are decent, including a great employee discount and many other oppurtunities to save on purchases. HR is very regulated, policies and procedures very clear. There is a lot of oppurtunity to grow within the company and be promoted from within. They value the development of its associates.

Cons

All feedback depends on your direct manager. Sometimes promotions seem unfair when you see a lot of external hires and they all came from the same company as your district manager, seems a little biased. Why is something like that allowed to go on? Trying to jump from behind the times to ahead of everyone else too quickly and don't have the infrastructure there to support it. There are so many processes you never have time to do your job: serve the public.
