Pros

Benefit package offered to Regular Part Time employees. Employee discount is better than some companies.

Cons

At my store: The "Good Ole Boy" policy is alive and going strong! If you are not a personal friend with the 'HR" you are at bottom of the heap. Full time Sales Associates are given perfered treatment in scheduling, fix work schedules and time off requests. CSA's are treated as second class, with part time CSA's even lower. The attitude is that Sales associates are not required to re-stock returns, and in the case of a Fashion/rough sections, they do not have to work the rough sections. Training to bring CSA's up to speed on product knowledge, SOS, M2O, details and installed sales is seriously lacking. There is not enough employees on the floor. The store's number one complaint from customers is lack of customer service. Time and time again we watch as customers walk out of the store - frustrated by the lack of customer service. There is a serious lack of communication between all levels of management and management and employees. The in store computer system is seriously outdated and SLOW! (my old '386') was faster!

Pros

Flexibility to solve customer issues, even when they are absurd in nature. Proximity to home, co-workers, fixed schedule for the most part, 401K, bonus (if you ever see it)

Cons

Computer systems are from 1980, no they are literally from 1980. Call IT go through the prompts and then you get a message that all lines are busy please call back again later. (If I didn't need help now I wouldn't have called). Corporate Americana, still have to deal with the good old boy's network. They hire from other retail fields as lateral hires, most of those hires have a lifespan of 18 months. Home improvement retail is completely different from Target, Best Buy and many of them can't grasp the product knowledge needed to run a store. Stock price has fallen quicker than the Titanic. Retire rich used to be their motto.
