Pros

Competitive starting wage. Nice initial orientation to company. Nice company values on paper but not demonstrated at store level.

Cons

Employee discount is way below other retail standads. Promotes from within which means you have bag boys managing stores. Open management positions are unfilled for long periods of time. Work is praised one day and same workers fired the next. Poor orientation to job roles after company orientation is complete. Most managers did not adhere to company work flow processes and other protocols which make it difficult for employees to stay on track. If you are full time you will work whenever they tell you too (most stores open 24 hours) except the holidays when pay is time and a half of course.

I do not have any cons.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
