    Pros

    Good benefits and good employee discounts

    Cons

    Pay is below average. They never did cost of living increase. Bonus program sucks. They make you blow payroll for corp visits but when you actually need the payroll for support on your sales floor they say no. They used to be big on employee morale but not anymore. Constant turnover from the field to the office. You could even see it in the clothes they buy, out of style.
