Pros
They are willing to teach you a lot of things, many different areas of the business rather than just one thing. If you are willing to learn. They take chances on hiring people with no experience for leadership positions
Kontras
Extreme preference and favoritism towards asians, particular in upper management. Tendency to dwell on mundane negative details rather than the big picture. IE I took over, have the sales up higher than they've ever been, customer reviews are very positive overall, especially compared to other stores in the area, have put in 60+ hours somewhat regularly without getting any real shot at the GM title. No recognition is given for this, when regional management comes in the problem becomes how white is the grout between the tiles, how dusty are the tops of the picture frames, how shiny are the copper pipes in the back. Also, the Landmark, Creeser, etc cult classes are ridiculous. At eleven dollars an hour I told them I can't afford 400 dollars plus a hotel room plus missed work. I am made to feel like someone who just makes excuses or doesn't care when I bring this up.
