Vantaggi

Results Only Work Environment allows you to work where ever and when ever you want as long as you deliver results. Every employee gets a laptop. Good cafe on site. Campus has a bank, dry cleaner, video games, pool tables and a theater that you can use to watch movies. The company knows it needs to change to survive in this industry. 401K match is 4% is given right away - no vesting period. Medical benefits and options are very strong. Lots of opportunities to have an impact on the business and to get a seat at the table depending on your role.

Svantaggi

Like most retailers, they underpay compared to other industries. Performance reviews put you into a box and becomes difficult to move once you are in a box - hence first impressions are super important. Cost cutting has resulted in downsizing and now nobody has much job security. We have watched our main competitors die but have not really come up with a killer value prop that would allow us to survive in the long term. So much focus on stock price and growth that sometimes we run just to be running. Ready, shoot, aim mentality prevails as well as old boy's clubs.

Vantaggi

Great General Manager, that’s about it.

Svantaggi

All of the leadership besides the GM were unprofessional. They couldn’t help it but most were incompetent.

Vantaggi

No Need to sell or deal with customers (Much) Constantly moving so you always have a task to do Management leaves you to your own devices Almost all warehouse employees have a set of headphone

Svantaggi

Everyone (Cust & employees) Expect an encyclopedic knowledge on where every single item is. Management seems to think we can lift a 85" tv, pull a washer off the top shelf, stock gaming shelves, and handle store pick up at the same moment. Customers think we don't want to help them when we call someone else to help with sales There's almost too much to do and even though we may have 1-3 employees working at a time, 1 is at the door, 1 is behind store pick up, which leaves 1 employee to handle new orders, deliveries, and down stocking.
