Pros

Discount? ummm...thats about it.

Cons

This company is very disorganized from the top down. When I was hired as a Assistant Manager there were 0 hours for my training. This company is very policy driven. If you ask why and question how things are done, you will not be given an answer. There is no room for free thought. There is a lack of loyalty in this company. In my city alone with 3 stores, 3 assistant managers and 2 store managers left within the last 3 months. This company could be a great place to work but there lack of vision which will cause good managers to leave. Its a shame to see such great managers treated like mindless robots and should just produce without a leadership. There is no culture at this company. Just reports, negative feedback and disappointment. Again heed the advise of others and do not apply.

Pros

Staff was friendly and willing to help through the hiring and training process, and tasks were shared evenly

Cons

Management implements rules that harm the flow of sales and make for terrible checkout lines. Scheduling was always done last minute and it was impossible have a stable work schedule due to last minute changes and no stable scheduling duties for managers
