Pros

Unremarkable - Getting out of the house? Not being on welfare? This job helps you learn to manage money well?

Cons

This has to be the only place you can get a promotion, be put on salary, and make less (they move employees to salary to avoid overtime laws) - The GM of our store was physcially assaulted he is such a great guy (by a former employee) Employees cannot figure out what their leave is and they are charged for medical benefits that are useless. I had a family member that worked there and she was terminated because she had a resume out. The place is run like a democracy, what a bunch of pigs!

Pros

Progressive company that is capturing the market.

Cons

Company culture can be counter productive. All employees are paid for performance - some goals conflict, plain don't make sense to measure, and ultimately result in poor business decisions being made. Too much focus on short term growth vs. long term. Long hours and low pay. Little training and development for operations.
