Pros

Benefits are good. For retail, you get every other weekend off.

Cons

Communication is poor. Your next pay grade depends on you hitting a certain score for your department, not on everything else you do that is successful or how you actually run your department or store.

It's frustrating when you work with a peer who makes more than you do, but yet they can't pull half the weight you do, and you are asked/required to help them. I'm all about teamwork, but Senior Management doesn't take that into consideration when it comes down to promotions.

Management is leaving all the time, so you are always asked to pick up more duties or oversee other areas.

Advice to Management

Take a look at your employees as a whole and how they contribute to the overall store, rather than just trying to reach a certain score.

Show up on time to meetings that you schedule, rather than showing up two hours late and saying your HR scheduled the meeting on short notice. That makes me lose respect for you and have no confidence in you to help get me to the next level.
