Pros

Good brand. Fun Products. Great resume addition.

Cons

Sinful benefits, esp health coverage, even understanding that health coverage in the US is generally not good and overpriced. Makes the private owner look uncaring, by association. No bonus structure. No profit sharing. General feeling that talent is not meaningful. If someone leaves or burns out, there are more to take their place because of the brand name. Lots of talented people start with enthusiasm and leave in frustration. The future of talent there is already mortgaged. Eventually, in a different business climate, these warts will show, which would be a shame, since I like the company and would return if the situation was right.

Pros

Good discount on in house brands

Cons

Toxic management runs rampant at most stores, multiple managers keep their jobs after saying racist or sexist things to both employees or customers. If you’re a good worker they expect you to do the work for your coworkers who are lazy / not doing their job and if you complain you’re the problem. Pay is a joke. Annual raises are never more than $0.20 a year, sometimes as low as $0.07.
