Helping people finding what they were looking for and selling a quality product.
The management was condescending and disingenuous.
Employee discount.
This is a great company for employees who like a lot of structure. There are rarely any exceptions made to the rules. Good product and good opportunity for advancement
It is very much like the military. Everything has a documented procedure. If you are more of a free thinking kind of employee this place is not for you.
Discount on personal automobile purchase.
