Pros

Coworks and management make this a fun workplace. Everyone gets along great and produces great results. Management is very understanding about personal issues and will work with you on anything. They promote work/life balance.

Cons

HR is out of touch with reality. Everyone was set to get a raise and then last second, screwed over half the department. No matter what anybody says, they are completely wrong. Screwing over half the department is screwed up. Not only that, the ones who got a raise was a whopping $.50. That's right, busting our butts for that. Not really anything to the paycheck. This isn't close to a liveable wage but I guess they are worried about the 3 new stores opening. Well, we are going to lose over half the department because of this. Someone has turned a great place to work into nothing. Moral is low and trust between us and HR is completely gone. Management tries their hardest but the damage has been done. Want to make it right, give everyone close to $20 and watch what happens. Until then, you just lost people who cared and enjoyed their job, but you don't care.

That's terrific that you enjoy your work, co-workers and managers. We recently conducted a salary survey in your work area and set starting pay rates based on the survey. Our managers assess your performance and determine your pay increase based on that performance. We can't discuss individual raises but can confirm that raises were more than $.50 in some cases based on performance. Please discuss with your manager his criteria for evaluating performance and how you might be able to achieve your goals. Thank you for sharing and taking the opportunity to learn more about our compensation systems. Angie Miller VP-HR

Pros

The employee discount is okay on non-electronic items.

Cons

Extremely pushy on how to fully screw the customer by forcing PROTECTION PLANS. Disgusting management. No respect for employees. Slightly racist. If you don't attach a plan, something is seriously wrong with you.
