Pros

After giving all a person can give. After almost losing relationship with family. There are no PROS to working for this company. Retail is not easy. This company is the " armpit of retail".

Cons

Excessive work loads for employees due to inability to actually schedule right amount of staff for needed times of day. No ability to have a family life. No sequential days off. Work minimum of 50 hours for 40 hours pay. Corporate does the scheduling per previous years sales. Warranties not honored to customers without receipt. Many warranties lost in the system bringing customer service issues. Lots of backstabbing throughout entire organization.

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
