Pros

There are plenty of stores. Most managers are friendly and eager to help new employees. Good or decent work hours. They do give pay raises quite often, but usually only $0.30 to a $1.00 at a time if lucky.

Cons

Once in management your salaried and you don't get overtime, and you usually work 10 to 20 hours overtime every week unless you have a great team,

Pros

There are no pros for working for this company. The store manager promotes Key holders within 2 wks of being hired. So theres no training and she rehires employee whom she has fired for theft. If your not kin too her in some way, you wont be there long. In the 7 mos ive been there we have around 10 or more employees come and go.

Cons

The pay is low and the hours that schedule you for isnt enough to live on. Thats why there is a revolving door. If your not kin to store manager you get no perks.
