Pros

Company preaches about "coaching in the moment" to help grow the staff to the next level. but SEVERAL upper management leaders have been fired on the spot without any type of coaching or grounds, so much for preaching philosophies they do not practice.

Cons

Payroll is always incosistent making the upper management change the schedule up to 3 times or more a week depending on the volume of merchandise receiving. Sometimes Shortening the sales associates to one shift. Alot of tasking takes place in the middle of the day instead of being 100% focussed on the customer and customer service. As for the privious DM this district made you shine and helped you move up in the company leaving us with a completly incompetent leader to follow.
