Pros

Having the 25% discount is the only worthwhile thing to mention.

Cons

The hours are ridiculous here, they won't even warn you about your hours being cut. The heavy workloads isn't worth the time or money working here. It seems favoritism plays a part in who gets the earlier shifts and it never rotates. If you are one of the closers they expect the 3-4 people to make a huge store look perfect. There is absolutely no possible way to move up in this company. They'll make you work weekends even when you try requesting them off, if you want your weekends stay away from here. 2 out of 5 managers are absolutely useless and have no clue what they are doing. The environment is horrible, concrete flooring will end up taking a toll on you. It just feels like they make you work the same department and it never rotates, for example they will keep the same people upfront.

Pros

25% employee discount, guaranteed 40 hrs a week for full time employees (5 days a week at 8.5 hr days, 30 min for lunch), first to see new merch, benefits, 1 out of my 3 managers are amazing (other 2 are useless), closed on Christmas, Easter, & Thanksgiving, PTO that can accrue and 40 hrs of PTO that will rollover.

Cons

Way understaffed, benefits are there but aren't all that great, pay could be much better, no guaranteed weekends off at all (only if you're lucky enough to get a considerate store director), also strong chances of management having to clopen due to the fact that it's basically swing shifts for customer service (once again unless you have an SD that pays attention when making the schedule), absolutely no chances for overtime (seriously, saw someone get in trouble for being 8 minutes over before), no floor plan for product so everyone's ideas of how it should look gets mashed together, no set-in-stone conditioning plan so the stores are usually a mess, no accountability what-so-ever, pretty stagnant chances of advancement, no set-in-stone plans for sales so you literally find out about them the morning of and have to hurry and get signage out before open of business, corporate tries to make too many physical changes and resets to the stores at once and there's not enough people to do it all AND do their daily jobs, no local advertising so store sales aren't good unless you're in a good location, allotted hours for the store is based on sales and not store needs, corporate tries to have the appearance of deeply caring about employees but never seem to prove it much, no set training guide/time for new employees so a lot of vital info slips through the cracks, lower management basically get scraps for bonuses SD gets biggest cut then the 2 SMs get their cut, then lower management splits what's left (if you get any at all), a lot of corporate decisions make me feel that they have no idea what they're doing, no real incentives for doing good work.
