Pros

-I love working with the customers and employees. -Everyday there is something new so the job never gets old. -Company is currently performing very well.

Cons

-Very difficult to move up and be noticed in the zone unless you are a drinking buddy of the zone manager. -Frequent disrespect from zone management which can include being cursed at, unprofessional conversations & being yelled at and embarrassed in front of coworkers. -Schedule is very hectic which is to be expected in retail. -Low pay compared to similar companies with similar position. -Can't get a good evaluation unless they think you are ready to run your own store. You can do a great job at your current point in your career but can't be evaluated fairly because you don't have enough time in to be a store manager. -Constant store visits from upper management distract from helping customers and actually doing the job that needs to be done. -Never being recognized for doing a good job, just being beat on the head when numbers aren't met.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
