Pros: freedom to entertain self during downtime, company is stable and growing, other managers are helpful
Cons: no lunch, 10-12 hour shifts worked mostly alone, lack of security when opening or closing store, some districts have a negative management style, minimal training
This is a good company to work for if you are getting your foot in the door of the financial services industry. There is not much training as the first two weeks you are only taught enough to open a store by yourself. Everything else must be learned by experience. The up side to this is you are trusted with great responsibility. The downside is, this
– more... frustrates customers having to deal with untrained staff. The management style of this district isn't the most supportive. Every week there is an email threatening to fire someone, but most of the staff dismisses the threats and continues to do their job to the best of their ability. There is a sense of security if you do your job, but if you are not trained it is easy to make a mistake that could get you terminated. At some stores there is plenty of downtime in which employees may read a book, watch tv, talk on the phone, etc and it does not interfere with work. There is no room for promotion unless you go to corporate, but ACE is a good company to get your feet wet in. – less
