Pros

Um, there's a cafeteria. The people who work there are ncie. I made some good friends in the office after bonding from our misery of working there.

Cons

Numerous people in middle and upper management positions are pathetically unqualified for their positions and lack majorly in leadership skills. The more detrimental an employee is to the company, the better protected they are by management and HR. I watched a lot of talented people leave the company due to issues wtih these managers and "leaders". Meetings can be a joke, the pettiness between teams and even teammates is often expressed unprofessionally during meetings, no one could get along which is clearly hurting business decisions. Morale was very low when I left a few months ago which the leadership team either doesn't care about or is too ignorant to notice. It was rare to go a week, or even a few days, without someone on my team crying. At work.

Pros

Could manage the business as I saw fit as through the lens of a business owner

Cons

Training was minimal and in a location very different than my future store. Staff I inherited was horrible and leadership was not transparent about the status of the store in regards to profitability and issues within the store or company for that matter. Company declared bankruptcy about 5 months after I started and closed my location. Not a great experience.
