New management is confused

Business Outlook

Pros

Great discount, nice co-workers, sometimes there is food

Cons

You never receive the hours you agreed to, it's always too many because of short staffing. The new company took away many of the perks, such as electronics discount. You will never, ever get positive feedback. Different people from corporate come in and give different instructions, so you are completely confused about policy. You will never be promoted from within. They will always hire from outside.

Pros

The only pro was the employee discount.

Cons

Terrible management. Pay was the worst I have ever experienced. The corporation only cares about lining their pockets and running their employees into the ground. The hiring process was lengthy and made you feel like you were applying for the secret service. The training was nonexistent.
