Pros

Good managers make a better place; interesting items; flexibility given to how items are displayed and stocked.

Cons

Hypocritical in ratings - if a customer reviews less than 100%, it negatively affects us, yet we as employees "can't ever get 100%" on internal reviews because we can always improve? Also, hard to move up in company without managerial experience elsewhere, which is why I left.
