Vantaggi
Great Benefits for a full time employee, the work is rather simple, yet labor intensive. Good place to work if you are fresh out of college and single, because they like to promote from within the company but relocation is a key part of their growth strategy, so expect to move with each promotion which is about every 1-2 years. If you thrive in a competitive environment this is the place for you. The managers and assistant managers are paid salary plus bonus. But the bonus caps off at 25% to the base salary and is calculated off of the stores Gross Margin "Do more, with less" is their motto. Only the management team has sales expectations.
Svantaggi
Since Obama Care was made official the company is very vocal about not hiring full time employees, and part time employees are kept to a strict weekly average of less than 30 hrs. so the company doesn't have to pay health benefits. Non-managers are paid an hourly rate just above minimum wage. But hourly employees do not have any sales expectations, they just have to show up and take the customers money. (which puts additional stress on the managers) Many of the company's policies and pay structure make it challenging to support anyone other than yourself, Don't work here if you are expected to financially provide for a family in b eed of a stable living environment. Also, because HR is located off site, there is not a lot of consistency when dealing with an employee's good or bad behavior. There is a double standard both within the store and within the districts.
