Pros

Basic health and dental benefits Wide range of opportunities across the country - usually requires relocation Some newer services for employees, such as Gym (employee paid) Employee Discount

Cons

Lack of accountability, leadership and innovation is prevalent throughout the company. Old boys network - promoting from within from stores leadership into unrelated senior leadership roles. In spite of a massive dominant market position, fails to drive and capture new markets and opportunities. Example: Deploying 300 DVD self-serve kiosks across the country at a time when the entire industry has transformed to digital content? Installing high priced Express product kiosks in Dollar stores?
