Pros
-The Stock given to employees as they earn money
Cons
-Not a living wage. Even 20/hr is not enough to live and pay rent in Dawson County, Georgia. Everyone working for this company is subsidized in some way if they are not in management. -Management is largely checked out, burnt out, or chronically stressed. In Georgia it seems they are more concerned with corporate policy than cultivating a happy, healthy workforce. Mr. George is certainly rolling in his grave. -They promote kids with no accountability into management and offer no training or professional development, so workflow processes are broken and posturing/politicking becomes more important than the job itself. -Toxic environment, employees overworked and underpaid. Constant gossip, drama, and henpecking because of the general negative morale. -Rarely ever 2 consecutive days off in a row for full-time workers. -Why would you want to work towards management in an environment where all the managers are miserable? -The mission statement is dishonest, and if you take it to heart, you will shoot yourself in the foot. No one in the store cares about making it great. The company just wants profit, and the workers just want to go home. -Massive corporate policies make it impossible for this to truly be an employee-owned and directed company.
