Pros

Great insurance, wide variety of team members and customers. Excellent customer service learning experience. Store-level experience is for younger individuals.

Cons

Advancement opportunities aren't as transparent as they seem. Ambitions can be stifled under the wrong leadership. Every level of management contradicts each other. Becoming a manager is more difficult internally than to be hired in directly from the outside. Long term employees have little control over how far they can go within the company. The split between "Union" and "Non-Union" stores makes it difficult to transfer or relocate to different leadership and many managers lead teams based on emotion and not the needs of the business.
