Pros

This company is one of the few that is actually growing in this economic environment. Plenty of new stores being added.

Cons

Store managers schedule is for 6 days a week, all year round, not just during peak seasons. Payroll for staffing is too thin, way too many hours that the manager has to work alone in order to make payroll. Necessary tasks can not be completed with the hours given, so the manager has to work even more hours (60 hours minimum, closer to 70 is possible).

Cons

the registers are old and dont work right half the time, some of the managers know less than the cashiers and get paid 10 times the money.
