Vantaggi
Flexible schedule in the floorcovering side. Mon-Fri 7-5 are the hours.
Svantaggi
The amount of negative behavior in the store in unbelievable and the DM allows it to continue happening. The salesman in our store only works about 4 hours per day while not being held accountable to the store manager, but by the sales manager which is 4 hours away. Sales are low (as they should be in our local area), yet we are being pushed to drop our margins (which is fine) but then after the 1st sale, raise them back to normal levels hoping the customer doesn't find out. There is not trust. Complaints made to the DM are then said back to the store manager and who filed the complaint making for a very uncomfortable situation. Upper management doesn't listen to the ground level employees. The computer system is 1982 Firefox and doesn't work worth a darn. The company uses satellite system instead of DSL. So when it's raining outside, forget working. There is no windows based system to be had. Unreasonable expectations from the DM to the store on what is needed. Goals are to be based on previous year sales, but that isn't happening and when calling them on it, they say that is what they expect and nothing less. What employee discount there is, is still more expensive than going to the other major big box industrial stores.
