Pros

Depending on location, low turnaround and overall a good team at most stores. A lot of people in the area have been there for years and are good people to work for/with.

Cons

Too many flavor of the month focuses that don't give positive results that get a full force backing, they cut back in the wrong areas and are too focused on one area to give the customer service that they should. They need to get back to the simple customer service before trying to get the new ideas pushed too hard. Years ago it was a great company with simple expectations, take care of the customer and give them the solution that they need. Now it is all about 'this has more profit push it!'

Pros

There are no pros to working for this company.

Cons

Low pay, grueling hours, unsafe and toxic work environment. The company does not offer opportunities for its sore employees to advance to the corporate sector; especially if you have a college degree. As a store employee neither you, your expertise and skill set, nor your ideas on how to improve workflow and company culture matter.
