Pros

Discount was fair and good opportunities to earn/win high quality cookware and kinves. Great customers by and large. In he store where I worked colleagues were very supportive and everyone shared expertise. Apparently that is not a universal dynamic in the chain.

Cons

incredibly aloof and distant corporate management that seemed to have no idea what went on in stores on daily basis. No appreciation for good performance; no ability to provide senior management with feedback on stupid products, or store operations. Very retaliatory atmosphere from senior management. Constant criticisms from district manager.

Pros

Wonderful staff and Manager and Asst. Mgr. Decent discount.

Cons

Negative environment created by micro managing from Corporate. They don't seem to recognize that their success is based on the employees. Credit is not given where it is due. Trusting the maturity of the employees is not an option. The pay is less that adequate
