Kontras
Promotions to do seem to happen in this company. I am going on the 3rd year applying for EXA and there isn't room in my district. They choose to transfer people in from other districts before developing the employees who are ready to learn and grow. The jump in pay between STL, MGT and EXA is alarming. The STL in my store makes around $11/hr, I make around $18 and the EXA I am guessing with bonuses makes around $45K/yr.The rotating schedules are terrible also. You work until 10:30 or 11pm for three days and then a mid shift and then finish your 7 or 8 day stretch with opening shifts. The computer system is not very up to date for such a large company. Some of the computers we use are the old IBM type from 20 years ago and the registers are also outdated as well.
