Pros
Competitive salary and good benefits (healthcare & 401k are good compared to other companies within the industry). Plenty of options for movement, very wide geographic dispersal.
Cons
Very overloaded in middle management. They give conflicting messages and try to micromanage every task. Goals are unrealistic and the stock answer to any negative feedback is " maybe you are not the right person for the job". Stores are dramatically understaffed and hours of operation are being extended beyond reasonable limits. Performance appraisals seem to be created backwards, ie they decide the overall score then adjust the individual categories to get the result they want with little regard for evaluating actual skills. The company seems to be pushing diversity for diversity's sake, placing unqualified and unskilled managers in jobs they are not prepared to handle simply to create the image of a diverse workplace. Price increases are out of control. We are 25% or more higher than our competition on comparable products and seem to have lost touch with our customer base and our market.
