Pros

Great discount, Hard work usually means more hours, able to help customers more than a big retail store

Cons

Overhiring, Hours sometimes are based on email capture, Promotions are handed to wrong people (there are exceptions, sometimes the right person gets it), Stores get same amount of hours, not based on store volume

Pros

Decent Pay...Great products...Good operations. Some people in home office actually care.

Cons

Went public and moral is awful. DM's VP's not qualified at all...it more about who you know then your retail qualities. Seems like owners have trend of building big business..going public quickly...making ton of money and then bailing out. Past company is Zanny Branny...went under...Encore books...doesnt exist, but they get richer and richer. Just sad for cureent employees working so hard!
