      Ok job for temporary work

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Coworkers were excellent, pay was twenty-five cents above minimum wage. Atmosphere was ok as well. Management (immediate) was very helpful and provided lots of guidance.

      Cons

      Senior management (store manager) was not helpful or friendly at all. Stores are cutting full-time hours so as to not pay any benefits. 401(k) matching is miserable, with 50% matched on the first 3% or $750 annually.

      It's all in a day's work

      Pros

      Promotion from within allows for more appropriate and knowledgable associates to enter management and run the company properly. Benefits even for part-time are fairly generous. Company takes pride in it's associates and works to treat customers they way they should be treated. Pay raises available every six-months. Evaluations are given in regard to work performance. Job class training program in tact to ensure consistent training. Associates are coached and counseled instead of just discharged ( given chances to improve. ) Safe and ethical workplace.

      Cons

      Progressive discipline can sometimes be TOO lenient ( eventually, you can only coach so much before it's time for discharge. ) Pay raises aren't very generous. Associates are sometimes promoted based on favoritism or a willingness to do the job, not neccessarily based on performance. No raises for promotions to leadership positions ( non-management ). Attendance and punctuality policy is too lenient and punishes the associates who have good attendance, as they must pick up the slack constantly. Some manager's fail to execute and enforce policies.
