Pros

Pretty limited positives right now. The discount is nice at 30% off of regular and sale prices. Flexible schedules for part time employees.

Cons

Pendulum swings greatly from one focus to another quickly and seemingly without reason. Upper management changed recently and has "cleansed" itself of a lot of the talent that grew this company and made it great. Store managers and store level associates are expected to do far more than is humanly possible given the payroll constraints placed on them. Performance metrics are continually added but none are ever dropped which attempts to make an "everything is vital" type of environment. Stay away.

It was a good place to work; however it is a bit political when comes to promotions.

Pros

Cool product and very hard to get terminated working here. The H.R. dept. gives you a never ending amount of second chances. Entry level management. Pay for managers is decent for what you are responsible for.

Cons

The performance managing of store managers is comical. The company has trouble and lacks the process for replacing managers that shouldn't be in position. Senior management (Regionals) only put people in place that they "like" and the ones who are kiss ups with a "rah rah" cheerleading mentality, not the ones who have proven they can run a great operation and develop great people. Company has changed for the worst over the last 3 years with the changes/hiring at the senior management level. The company's culture has changed and the decision making has become disappointing.
