Pros

The benefits and flexible schedule are the only reason I stay.

Cons

micro managing DM, unrealistic expectations of managment. They expect salaried employees to pick up all payroll slack because we, evidently, have no life outside of our job. Not enough payroll, too heavy of a workload. Customers are constantly upset about the return policy yet they refuse to change it. The pay for sales associates isn't worth anyones time, no wonder I can't keep employees. Why work for us when you can go anywhere else and work less and get paid more? Everything about this job is just awful. Constantly having to deal with people who are in better positions while I'm the one training them on new things. Promotions are given based on who you know, not what you know.
