Pros

Customers and Team Members Coffee No late Nights Ripping on the company and ADs when you go out for drinks after meeting

Cons

Be ready to run yourself ragged everyday AD micro manages everything including scheduling You must work a position 8-10 hours a day and do your admin at home and on your days off Constant hipocracy, from a hiring freeze for 4 months to 'why haven't you hired anyone to back fill for our new store openings' Have to pretend sophmoric, immature and inexperienced assistants are knowledgeable with a straight face Contant negativity and unprofessional communications from AD Must work every holiday, Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, even Mother's Day and Father's day Must listen to ADs politics about Ayn Rand Wasting managers time with on line classes that are competely irrelevant to new product or procedures Failing Business Plan

Pros

The customers are amazing and the job itself is very easy and doesn’t demand much work.

Cons

I was terminated after “complaining” about management and was treated unfairly until I had to leave. They were not trying to keep me in the company after I started complaining that I haven’t gotten raise in 2 years.
