I'm a on-site manager and I love it!! The work life balance is amazing! The work is fun, challenging, and interesting,. Upper management is great and very knowledgeable and approachable. Family oriented even closed on Sundays so I can spend time with my family.

Cons

You have to be self motivated

Pros

Nice working environment, competitive pay, pretty fast accruing PTO, uniform allowances, great company discounts as well as a groupon style program, nice and stable working hours. Closed for all (christian) religious holidays as well as new years, thanksgiving... Decent amount of freedom and autonomy provided you do a good job. Good health benefits if you want to pay for them. Lots of internal contests and other ways of winning Amex gift cards. Not so much "corporate overlords" as executive management. Very OSHA compliant.

Cons

Uniform budget only goes so far before it's out of your pocket. NO NO NO NO overtime, they loathe overtime. Somewhat frequent reminders that our job is to pay shareholder dividends. Facilitating hoarding. The sales tactics of specific merchandise are sometimes borderline mendacious, given one knows the industry and related products inside and out; but I guess that's sales for you. To be fair though, we don't rip people off, ever. Just like the post office, you are expected to go outside whether there is rain, sleet, snow or shine. ESS pinches its pennies hard. We're often given tasks and provided with the cheapest, bare minimum tools and equipment and are expected to produce professional results. Your regular day off is subject to change with just a few days notice. Small staff [relative] means there is fierce competition for small number of promotions.

Pros

Great Hours, Company awards hard workers. Recognition for hard work and tenure by upper management, Good benefits, the company encourages and rewards healthy living, Team Environment, Positive culture,

Cons

Not many holidays off and Saturdays you are required to work. Pay could be better, only raise opportunities are when you're promoted and during annual review (normally only 3%) . Pay is locked in when you sign your original job offer so new hires are starting at the same pay that a 3 year employee is now making after several promotions.
