Absolutely the worst company to work for EVER!!!

Pros

Not many pros....If you like low pay...no set schedule (as promised on hiring) horrible supervisors all the way to the top...then this is the place for you!!

Cons

No money....lies from the upper staff...threats to lose job if things are not perfect (Associates cannot walk on water by the way....) no advancement and you work really hard for a tiny check while a guy with billions makes more money off of the employees....Guess that is a "pro" for him!!!

Pros

Good hours, responsible hourly employees, location, freedom to be creative with your position, and extra curricular activities for all!

Cons

A lot of "can't, won't, and no" from upper management. Sometimes gossip can take over, but if you stick to your job, you shouldn't have a problem with that. Little man syndrome of the location within the state.
