Non lack of advancement, high turnover for District Manager in regional managers.

Poor pay wages. Salary expected to work 60+ hours a week. Very little recognition. Recently changed the tear on shrink and sales. Bonuses to ensure managers will no longer get those either.

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.
