Pros

This company provides a very laid back work environment. Disciplinary policies are extremely worker friendly. There are no point systems or other such policies to adhere to. Management receives quarterly bonuses.

Cons

This company offers no benefits except one week paid vacation. This one week is actually only 32 hours. There is no sick time, personal time, or retirement plan for this position. You do all the work of the manager but at a fraction of the manager's pay. The structure and disciplinary policies of this company are lacking which allows employees to slack in work, attendance, and behavior. There are little or no repercussions for such behaviors which results in a few employees pulling the weight of many. I would not recommend this company for hard workers or those who prefer a well structured work environment.

Pros

Benefits such as health/medical insurance

Cons

Massive company. I worked a couple different roles from the “corporate” side, even if I was in stores a lot of the time. One thing I learned is that the “office” or “corporate” roles don’t really have a day off. Sure, it’s a Monday-Friday job but it’s like regardless of what you do there, you’re on call in some way but there isn’t any sort of incentive in return. You’re likely not going to get a sufficient work-life balance working here, because, again, someone is going to be calling or emailing you on the weekend or in the evening where either you have to handle it, or pass it onto someone else who can. Lack of thorough vetting has resulted in unqualified leadership with challenging management styles that hurt daily team morale.
