Not a bad place for 9-5, steady paycheck.

Pros

Open communication from the executive team. When I had a family emergency, HR was very helpful and my department was willing to be flexible. It highly depends on the department you are in. It is a great place for an easy 9-5 job with a steady paycheck and good benefits.

Cons

Recognition, feedback, promotions all highly depend on the department that you are in. There are a few 'old-timers' in the leadership team that, in my opinion, do not offer much to the company and in fact, hold back progress. Very little mentorship and/or training programs. It's mostly learn as you go, sink or swim.

Pros

The people that you work with always are the best reason to work anywhere. If it wasn't for my co-workers I would have gone insane. I enjoyed what I was doing working with wine/beer and providing recommendations for customers. They have an interesting niches in the marketplaces and it always seems that people are excited about the store. Decent benefit package.

Cons

Team is taken to a whole new level when you actually do someone else's job and are required to do it. Staffing is at an all tie minimum and hours to be had are sparse. I was hired for one thing, and basically did another for 75% of the time.
