Pros

Long-time Associates are great to have Customer Base

Cons

If you don't sell warranties, you WILL NOT LAST! You are pressured and threatened if you are not selling. DMs have become micromanagers with the amount of pressure on all levels of mgt. High turnover - Pay is not good for hourlies A lot of last minute changes - Senior Mgt. seems to throwing things to the wall and be ready to adapt to sudden changes Way Too Many Conference Calls More about the business now, not employees Eliminated 401k, stock purchase, tuition reimbursement and manager raises Extremely Political

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.
