Pros

Generally great customers to work with. Compensation & Benefits are fair.

Cons

Micro managed by DMs, who have no clue what goes on day to day. The "goals" are an everending moving targets. Lack of consistency in expectations of center teams: Maintain high volume and consistent revenue in the thousands from a large corporate client? Doesn't matter unless you hit your "quota" of product of the month totalling maybe $100-200. Yes, that will definitely increase the revenue streams for the company, pens and screen cleaners. Not even Staples tries this waste of time. What about the different standards between centers in the same district? Take center "A", you can be leading in sales, profit, overall customer sat, but miss a greeting here or there and get written up and micromanaged. Yet, at center "b", you could be terrible at greeting, poor sales, multiple out of stocks, etc, but the mgr not only avoids the write ups, but gets promoted.

Pros

Good work life balance, hours are flexible, team members are pretty nice overall, benefits are good, company is stable and job security is good

Cons

Way too many things to remember, they say “you don't have to remember everything, just know where you can figure it out” and thats all fine and good but there are so many places to go and you have to know where, and despite what they say there are things you cant find anywhere and just have to know, so many systems are just confusing and have no real guidelines to follow, and thats not to mention that every manager has there own places where they do it either the fedex way or their own way, and you never know until you get called out for doing something. Pay is also pretty low and the only way to make more is take on management roles
