Pros

Company Provided Vehicle Positive sales growth = realistic bonus goals Some very hard working Store Managers

Cons

Communication systems are deplorable- ability to communicate with the stores is antiquated. The buck stops with the DM - all communication up and down 5.5 day work week - depends on your Regional Director, but most DM's are working 65-75 hours per week Infrastructure/Resources - half of the stores are are several decades old and absolutely filthy and broken down. Trying get things like heaters, electrical panels, front doors fixed is an absolute nightmare. It is embarrassing. The company's motto is "Serving Others" and it is complete bologna. Senior leadership is self serving and the only thing that matters is pleasing them and Wall Street. I have seen Divisional leadership spend $25k, $70k and $100k on preparing for 5 hour walks with investors or Executive Leadership, yet the company will park tickets to fix door locks, heaters, bathrooms. It's disgusting Compliance Culture -Horizontal priority line - everything is a 911 This company has no idea of how to run urban stores or protect their associates in those stores.

Pros

Good opportunities for career growth, including to different departments/fields so employees can follow their passion. Fast-paced environment but still friendly and a team culture. Expect to be warmly greeted with a "good morning" by everyone on the elevator. The corporate office is located just north of Nashville - easy to get to and lots of lunch places. Everyone on my team works hard, pulls their own weight, and supports each other, which makes for a rewarding experience.

Cons

No "cons" come to mind.
