Pros

This store location will almost always reach the sales quota. I had very many wonderful sales associates and co-workers. You'll see some interesting people come through. That's about it.

Cons

Stay away from this place if you are looking into a management position. I could write an entire book on why, but I'll try to keep it short. It took them 6 months before I actually was sat down to be trained for my position, in the meantime, I only learned what not to do after I was written up multiple times for things I was not aware of. Much of which that is simply out of your own control. Many of the things a store manager should be able to do, you have to wait for the district manager to do. Like HIRE people to work in the store. We were severely understaffed at one time, and the entire 3 people that worked in the store was written up for not being able to keep up with their daily duties.(This is basically the top selling store in the region mind you) The turn over rate is high, and the higher ups tend to remind you how disposable you are. Compensation is not even that great, and I believe there aren't any benefits unless you are the store manager and up. Not worth your time, unless you are just looking at a sales associate position (which is't that great either, but is a whole lot less pressure) or being way up there in management (i.e. district manager and up).

Pros

Discount, weekly pay. All I have to say.

Cons

Horrible experience. Not enough hours for the workload. Have to cut people and give them the disappointing news of then losing hours. Then after sending everyone home you are stuck in a store by yourself being the cashier, security, sales associate, recover person, and manger all at once . . oh and the long lines to the door with only myself on the register and people begging for help and complaining about the wait in line. DM was horrible. Area manager was sweet but unfortunately she had to follow the directions of the DM. Poor Pay. Overall -10/10 experience!
