Pros

You have the opportunity to do your best and improve every single day. Great pay & benefits for management. If you're lucky, you'll find some amazing in-store leaders who are really there to make you and the customer experience better. I've worked with some of the best people in any industry with this company.

Cons

Upper management sometimes forgets that running a $40M+ store requires more than two people. Some district/market leaders are losing an IQ test comparison to a jar of mayonnaise.

Advice to Management

Gang, you need to better qualify your management teams. Most of the people you put in place are parrots without the ability to think or act for themselves.

There are a few shining stars, but they fail to recognize people for consistency and, too often, you fail to take critical feedback from your best people.

You've lost sight of your mission and failed to deliver on your promises to your customers for the sake of profitability, which, by the way, failed.

Do what you say you're going to do, when you say you're going to do it, how you say you're going to do it.
