Pros

Being able to get first look at products was cool. It’s nice when the Category Manager asks you to test stuff out that you get to keep.

Cons

Toxic environment. Racial remarks have been made it meetings. My manager at the time was vindictive whenever I took PTO. They would have to take off or work from home when I returned. I worked there 5 years without a promotion to a new position. They only like to hire the children of higher ups. And they get promoted faster. There are hardly any people of color in management or VP roles. They even held back raises one year to acquire Sunco. I even worked till 1 am in the office on a Friday. All I got was thanks.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
