Pros

Great discount Competitive wages That's it...but I needed 5 word

Cons

Don't get paid time and a half for holidays. Anyone under the Store Manager position is under appreciated and under valued. Laid off ALL full time employees expect for store managers with only a 3 day notice Horrible severance package Declining sales Small raises Not a lot of opportunity for advancement

Loved this job until new upper management swap! DMs micromanaging constantly & are constantly adding new ops which make it hard to focus on sales!
