Pros

The people are great -- always willing to help. Work life balance is still maintained, despite the economic downturn. Great work environment.

Cons

As with any large company, there's bureaucracy. Promotions are conducted in a fairly hush-hush way. There's a lack of transparency in a number of HR-related procedures as well.

Pros

Not working with people, and overnight shifts (if that's what you're looking for). Daily meetings to discuss goals and upcoming goals of the "team".

Cons

Management expects far too much of employees. Entry level workers are treated as children. Hourly compensation for an OVERNIGHT manual labor position is far lower than it should be.

Not a great place to work

Pros

Better scheduling than most retailers, every other weekend off for ETLs.

Cons

It's retail and retail attracts a lower level of people in management. The focus on minimizing payroll hours has really put a strain on management and there doesn't appear to be a focus on dealing with that. At a certain point, morale dips and there are not enough hands available. The remaining people become even less interested in supporting a no-win situation. Do well with fewer hours and they'll cut payroll even more to see if you can successfully deal with that. Do poorly with less, they'll give you more (if they like the STL), otherwise, they'll fire you.
