Nice job, bad Management.

Sales associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Customers are usually nice. I enjoy helping people solve their home improvement problems.

Cons

There is no continuity to thier service and most of the management could care less about the problems of the customers. They could care even less about employee problems because they dont seem to have a problem hiring new employees. if you get hired be prepared to find another job because in the 3 years I have worked there I have seen alot of good employees fired for really stupid reasons and some real idiots advanced bescause they knew whos butt to kiss.

A great fall back to better than nothing job.

Appliance associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Convenient, low pressure, low qualifications.

Cons

Low qualifications frequently means that those who are better qualified handle more of the work load. Some serious employee concerns seem to be handled on a "good old boy" basis, with more emphasis given to whether the actor has been a good employee before a particular incident occurred then the actual severity of the incident. Awards are administered when there is time to do so, or as an afterthought, rather than on an ongoing basis as the award program specifies. Managers who ignore and/or disparage employees suggestions. Managers who do not understand the escallation of issues and continually try to pass them back if they don't feel like handling them. Managers who write off suggestions for improvement and then implement them later and do not give proper credit. "That's retail" given as answer to why things are not improved.
