Pros

Great team oriented atmosphere. Great decision making structure, in that you as an employee of the company are empowered to make customers satisfied by solvings concerns right then, rather than waiting on a manager. Great training program to help you learn the departments within the store(rather than just filling a department with a warm body), great training programs for business management(inventory control, customer service skills, management skills. Great opportunities to learn new things. This company takes pride in hiring and training the best, and you don't always have to be one that has extensive credentials or the most education they will teach you everything that you need to know. Very good profit sharing structure that puts revenue over plan directly back to the front line associates pockets. Great Opportunities for advancement. Over 90% of district, regional, and executive management started right on the sales floor.

Cons

Schelling very sporadic, have to find a way to adjust weekly unless working in a position that has some type of pattern
