Pros

I really like my co-workers. I like management at the store level.

Cons

The pay plan is atrocious. They gerrymander the cars with adds and pack to the point of theft from their sales staff. Always seems to be a new rule or regulation that allows them to avoid paying a commission or bonus. Seem to be more interested in having 20 chumps making minimum wage on the sales floor, as opposed to paying some real pros. Feels like a glass ceiling is being placed on our income.
