Pros

Some locations can be pretty laid back and casual.

Cons

PT staff don't get enough hours, are underpaid, and there are very little FT positions below management. Management expected PT employes to perform keyholder duties with no additional compensation. District management and above don't care about anyone below SM/ASM level, and the good SMs and ASMs are overworked, with a mandatory *minimum* 44 hours per week. Turnover is sky high, and completely inexperienced new grads are moved into management positions with lightening speed, over hard working, experienced, long term employees. Time theft is rampant, and DMs play favorites.

Pros

easy job with little work load and decent customer base

Cons

they cut my 401k for 6 months with no mention of when it was coming back, terrible CEO that everyone hated who cut jobs to save money for a new headquarter that we absolutely did NOT need, bought a random argentinian paint company to monopolize an already dying business and put the cost back onto the consumer by charging way more for paint. They also give discounts to national brands and apartment complexes that are literally less than what the store charges for paint and forces us to sell to them, losing money in the process ( for the individual stores but making them money since they own the whole manufacturing and distribution process and up-charge stores for products they require us to sell ). Overall climbing up the ladder is easy but upper management suck and will make any good hearted, hardworking manager quit in the long run.
