Pros
Home office training is intense but very well planned out to cover every aspect that you might encounter in the field. The only bright spot in this organization is their trainers who do their best to make this an enjoyable place to work. Sadly, they are like the band playing on the deck of the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.
Cons
The CEO and senior staff are out of touch with reality. The only way this company makes money is by selling and buying assets on the stock market, not actually providing a quality product. At the store level, management is a cog in a wheel with no real ability to impact sales. CBOCS feels like it owns your soul down to when you can sit down. I actually was reprimanded for sitting down one time. The level of trust within this organization is so banal that employees can only bring in clear bags and even management's personal belongings have to be searched in order to clock out at the end of the day. I still amazed that I could be given the keys and control of a $5 million dollar store but treated like a prisoner throughout the entire time of my employment. It's laughable that their motto is "people pleasin" when the only pleasing they are doing is into their own paychecks.
