Pros

-The people. Corporate, Peers, associates and customers. -Flexible with schedules and requests off -Tools provided to advance training -Celebration of outstanding employees -Customer relationships!

Cons

-Lots of movement, training and marketing changes with minimal extra payroll if any given. -Visual hiccups in corporate -Marketing issues (cut back your expenses spent in that field)! -Freight overload. It feels like the distribution is off for three days then packs hundreds of boxes to flow it out to stores. Trickle it into store 5 days a week. -Opportunities diminish once you are at Store Manager Level. -Your district manager will make your career flourish with the right opportunities (it all comes down if your DM is a "people driven" boss) -Salary. At least 15-20% less than other competitors yearly. -Bonus Incentives are very hard to achieve. 30% comp in the month of January? Really? -Health insurance price is crazy high! At least $450 per month. -Yearly raises are not even 1% raise, even when EE.
