Pros

Discount is great and Dress code is laid back. You can advance within the company as they do most of their hiring from within. They have a lot of good people working for them my District manager Mike Brooks was one of the best in the company and really cares about his people.

Cons

Although this is a Billion dollar company they do not pay overtime so your 60+ hour work weeks are only compensated with the little extra you make in commission... "If you are a employee and reading this if you make overtime you are not being paid enough wait until you're in a higher volume store". With all the hours you will be working you will lose time with your family and friends which is something you will never get back. No matter how much you do for this company or how hard you work at the end of the day you are still just a number to them and they will not back you if it comes down to it. I gave this company almost 10 years of my life, made them millions of dollars and increased sales in every store I stepped foot in all while being the only manager in either of my districts to promote out any store managers. Do not make the same mistake I made and give your life to this company they will use you up and spit you out.
