Pros
-Friendly coworkers and base level management. -Slowly improving pay to match a living wage. -Variety of resources and benefits. -Decent, but expensive, insurance program. -Large amount of training opportunities. -Generous employee discount program. -Very diverse usually for culture/ethnicity. -Relatively generous leave provided.
Cons
-Workplace beurocracy is rampant. -If you work outside of sales, admin, comm-in, you're going to be undervalued, overworked, and deal with minimal pay increases and less consideration for bonuses. Or rather, you have to work in tandem with every other department exceedingly hard in order to prove that you deserve a measly fraction of what the building manager gets. -ISAs (in-store agreements) are not respected if you work Quality/Recovery, especially here. That department is the last cared about and considered by other departments or upper management, outside of being the highest ranked in our country for this team, despite being integral to the vast majority of the store, and having an effect of every single department. -Favourtism is rampant, even if quite a few employees(in every department, administration included) should not be maintaining their position due to attitude and behaviour, they do and no amounts of complaints are heard unless they could lead to, or are elevated to, a lawsuit.
