Pros

Pay is good compared to surrounding retailers. Treat employees with recognition at all levels. Encourages team members to cooperate with each team to help the overall guest expierence.

Cons

Very driven to complete tasks in the ultimate shortest time possible. To get more work done with less people on each team. Constant drive to beat the clock, without short cuts. Hold teams accountable when things are not quite right to perfection, then drive ahead with pick up the pace. Push Push Push lets take it to the next level all the time. Push so hard that breaks are skipped just to keep up. It seems that there is not enough time to get it all done on each shift. Certain positions find it difficult to balance leadership management with talent and task management.
