Pros

Decent place to work Good associates Fun customers Adequate pay

Cons

Upper management had a fixation on the "fix of the year." District Managers varied from uber-competent to not remotely competent Seemed to be no promotion from within past the general manager level Favoritism was a huge issue

Pros

- Good time off and flexible - Some leaders are great - Regular Benefits

Cons

- Not much company or team buidling activities - If you are new you may feel isoated, kind of (cliquey) in some departments - Not much option to switch leaders - With big projects you may feel as if you are doing more than you were hired for
