Pros

20% Employee discount was the only positive, and even that isn’t that great when everything is $5 or less.

Cons

District Managers wall all over you, if you have a salaried General Manager position you are expected to work well over your 45 hour work week to get things done as they don’t give you nearly enough hours to do everything the assign to you. The company’s moto is, Let Go and Have Fun! There is NOTHING fun about working at this company no matter how hard they try and make you feel that way. Micromanaging 100% happens here, you are expected to recover and completely purge a World, as they call the different departments, with only two people working at all times. They want pictures showing the progress, a picture of the back room before you put stuff out, a picture after it’s put out, a picture of the section you worked on, a picture of the zone sheet that you have to sign off on, a picture of the scanner showing the adjustments you completed in that area as well as a picture of the paper you print and fill out of the adjustments you have done.

Discount. That's it, just the discount.

Cons

Corporate doesn't care about employees like they say so much about. No raises in YEARS.
