Pros
-Team members are great
-Hour and a half paid lunch
-Half days on, half days off with full time pay (13 hour days though)
-Health benifits
Cons
-Lots of responsibilities, facility maintenance, customer service, sales, retail store upkeep, contract management, and anything else that comes up.
-Very low pay for the work involved. Associates currently get paid below minimum wage which senior management claims is OK because of the bonus pay on hitting sales targets (likely illegal, since bonus pay is not guaranteed but I am not an employment lawyer). Managers paid below industry average.
-huge sales push from management. You will be asked to work as if you are working sales, but you will not be paid as such. Bonus pay just gets you to where you should be being paid in the first place.
-micromanagement and a lack of respect for work/life balance
-currently experiencing MASSIVE turnover
-store managers lack real management powers, are treated more as the most senior associate
