Avantages
50% discount, although they previously tried to take it away. We receive a decent amount of gratis. Now, only due to law, we get paid sick leave.
Inconvénients
I don't even know where to start. I've been with this company for a long time, and my experience has only gotten progressively worse as time has passed. This used to be a company that encouraged employees of all levels to make suggestions, give constructive criticism, etc. However, the owners have turned on those who have helped built the company. We are no longer allowed to even think about contacting the executives and we must follow the "chain of command." The only problem with this system is the information never gets to who it needs to go to. There are certain people at corporate who seem to have personal vendettas against people who challenge them, and there is no way for us to let their boss know about their actions. Everyday that I come to work, I feel like someone is either turning in their two weeks or talking about their plans to leave. If the owners listened to ALL of their employees and not just the biased words they hear from one, maybe they'd have compassion for those who do so much for them. Certain people who have been put in high positions of power recently seem to be abusing them. They seem to care more about their career advancement and their appearance to the owners than they do the actual stores and employees. Many have questioned the nature of the relationship between particular employees, because those much more deserving of a promotion have been denied the opportunity to someone under qualified. I no longer wish to work for a company that does not value its employees and treats them in such a negative way.
