Pros

- Coworkers are awesome. - Gained exposure to job functions that I used to catapult my career into a much better postion.

Cons

- The company culture is very toxic. No room for creativity or innovation whatsoever. - Bullying is the management style here, maybe because the majority of management has no college education. - Everyone freaks out when the General Office is at the store. - The pay is garbage, especially for management. - The health insurance offered is unaffordable. No 401k matching at all. - If you are in management, good luck having a life outside of work. You will "clo-pen" at least twice a week and will be expected to work 48+ hours a week. - As long as you work for this company you will work every other weekend, even the General Managers. - Unrealistic expectations when it comes to making payroll. - NO loyalty at all, you can expect your job to be threatened on a daily basis.

Pros

Good pay. Most coworkers are excellent to work with.

Cons

Scheduling is horrible. Work til 10 pm and have to be back in at 6 am. Store management plays favorites and talks smack about non favorites and Promotes accordingly Doesnt recognize Team memebers for jobs well done. Belittling. Unprofessional.
