Pros

There really were none other than I did get paid, but unfortunately compensation was unfair and laughable. But at least they did honor me by giving me a paycheck.

Cons

When I initially interviewed with the owner's son, he had pretty much asked me to bring him business from my previous job. I wasn't okay with that, but to get the job I said what I had to. That being said, he held me to that after hiring me. Because I had basically refused to do his bidding, (which by the way is ILLEGAL), he went ahead and hired someone else to do my job for me behind my back, and then cut my hours without notice. I was already making only a little more than minimum wage, and the only way he saw fit to give ANY employee a raise was if they had "something to bring to the table," in other words no matter how you do it, bring him more business. He would be willing to let you break your non-compete agreement with your previous employer without bating an eyelash so long as it meant more money for him. They're just plain greedy and unforgiving. Pass them by, and don't look back.

Pros

All the people I worked with in the store were fantastic people. Everyone helps everyone else and doesn't leave anyone out to dry.

Cons

Management above store level were a nightmare. Easily the worst I've ever experienced. They would change goals often, sometimes within days of having made a change. They would make assumptions about what was wrong without ever actually being in store. They wouldn't speak to ANYONE below the level of a manager to the point of ignoring someone if they greeted them.
