Pros

Working outside is nice when the weather is mild. Employees are nice. Flexible for high school employees.

Cons

Being forced to move to a new store to fill in when others quit. Always being short staffed and working 6-7 day 60 hour work weeks to keep hourly associate pay low. The human element has been removed from the focus of the company and now they are focused on limiting the length of employment of managers to keep wages low.

Pros

Great coworkers and team environment. I was excited to come to work to with alongside my team.

Cons

Upper Management and Corporate are an absolute mess. They pretend to care about their employees, but they do not. They will throw any employee under the bus if it benefits them. They fired my partner out of the blue without working with him on things he could improve, after my partner was a loyal employee for 4+ years. Also they don't review payrates of current employees when increasing starting pay. I had to fight to get the increased minimum management pay when I'd been there for two years.
