Pros

I liked that I was not micro managed and able to flex my store when needed.

Cons

To much product not enough payroll meant I as the GM had to do everything. To much physical labor, not enough time to actually manage.

Pros

Started out really good, fun culture, very informal, didn't take it's self too seriously. But then they went public and it changed the whole culture and they are all about the money.

Cons

Training was a hot mess. Wasn't consistent from one store to the next. Stores have little payroll, most of the time one manager and one cashier, but then harp on customer service. You can't offer good service if you can't get off register.

With the payroll given, it is difficult and can be stressful to complete tasks.
