Pros

I have some of the best co-workers. Some of the management is good. Flexible hours.

Cons

Understaffed, underpaid for the labor expected to perform, management asks its employees to give away free items or give discounts to sell either an Inside Track Membership or Extended Service Plan. People only come in for the never ending free items. Expected to make the store look new when it is old and run down with only 2 people scheduled to work. Terrible raises for staff and management. Recent reviews for employees was done by a manager that a) is no longer at the store and b) whom everyone and I mean everyone had a complaint about, how is that fair to anyone's review? Hence, a terrible raise.
