      Down right bad

      General manager

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Discount. You do ALOT of things that will look good on a resume.

      Cons

      As a salaried manager you're expected to work 45 hours. You end up working at least 55-60. Stores are constantly being destroyed by customers. DMs micro manage like crazy. Pay is a joke. The company relies on email capture rate which is embedded in your brain. Goals are unrealistic.

      Decent place for the most part

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Schedule not too bad, pay was good, employees pretty good, cool products

      Cons

      Changing way to fast, total lack of training, but they are working on that. Upper level management is all about themselves, little help from corporate office. Owners need to take a step back and let the senior management do what they were hired to do. Bonus is a joke and rarely amounts to anything.

      Pros

      Fun work environment. Low stress job. There is high turn over so for the most part there are opportunities for advancement.

      Cons

      Low income and hours. Unfair management. Irate customers are an average sight due to complaints about broken merchandise.. most of the time they just need to be shown how products work.The general managers are incompetent and usually leave most of the work for assistant and part time managers while they reap all the benefits. District management varies but for the most part pleas from staff remains unheard despite how many times complaints are brought up. It's very hard to consult with the general managers about issues because they are the ones making the schedule, therefore, the possibility of hours getting cut due to personal feelings is high - happens a lot.
