Pros

Customers are in love with the company except for prices and quality, and get treated well. Employee discounts are generous, but need to be for any employee to afford to buy anything here. Selling things people remember as kids is a hit.

Cons

Management philosophy is as outdated as the products we sell. Employees are squeezed really hard to do more and more with less help every year. Hiring provides only very low-skilled people to save money on salaries. New president is the former finance guy and is a penny pincher and it is wearing away at the staff in many departments. Only concern is bottom line, no genuine concern for finding quaity employees.

Pros

Wonderful people! Peer reviews. Must be a Vermont Resident, but any where in VT will do. Excellent training and support. Steep discounts for employees. Talk to people all over the country. Many Vermont and USA made products. Regular breaks for stretching and 1/2 hour lunch.

Cons

Need your own high speed internet, and the pay is not great, but when you factor in the savings on gas and mileage it's not bad. If you are full time they force you to work overtime in November and December which is why I only worked part time. Part time employees are only guaranteed 20 hours per/week during the off season.
