Pros

good pay and good benefits. mild retail environment with the exception of back to school.

Cons

There is no recognition for a job well done. No feedback from my district manager on ways to improve personal growth. The regional vice president believes in intimidation as opposed to inspiring and motivating. This trickles down to the district management team and ultimately inot the stores. There has been about a fifty percent turnover at the general manager level over the last 3 years since she joined the company. The hours are long, 10 hour days.
