Pros

The company mission is what motivates anyone to do their best, especially if they’re directly affiliated with the military personally. The customers are awesome and the benefit package is one of the best that any organization has to offer. Also it’s team driven

Cons

First, pay attention to the demographics for senior management; it’s not as diverse. If you’re a person of color, the environment can come across as racial especially if your looking to climb the corporate ladder. If they don’t like you, they find a way to get rid of you or, you’ll end of being stuck the the position that you’re in. Remember HR works for the best interest of the organization not the associate. Senior management encourages an open door policy however, if you don’t follow chain of command you will be regarded as a “problem child”. They pre-select associates for certain positions. If your a single parent, you will need a second job to make ends meet. If you apply for a position and don’t tell your current supervisor, you will get penalized for it.

Pros

- Job itself is quite easy - Don't have to deal with full public - Health benefits are nice - Get access to tax free product. - Very generous time off/sick time compared to other companies

Cons

- Management can be difficult to work with and seems inexperience in the technology that the workers are using to do their jobs. - registers, scanner guns, payroll software, store technology in general feels very outdated by todays standers and make it difficult to do my job. -Taking time off is difficult because of how poor management is with operating payroll software. - Hardly any training for new staff. - People that need to be fired aren't let go, but people that do a good job leave because management doesn't do anything about it except file a report. - Constant rotating staff that seems to be never questioned why they're leaving. - Pay is insulting compared to other companies.
