Pros

Fast paced action with a ton of cross functional collaboration. Pay is decent, good advancement opportunities, and a very good team culture.

Cons

Can be hard to take a day off and check out to refresh in certain roles. The company is trying to grow but unwilling to adapt pay in some lower-level store positions to match competitors.
