Pros

Employees are friendly. District Manager was fair and honest.

Cons

Store manager has no idea on how to work a store properly. All the employees are quitting because of his inability to do his job properly. Store manager is always lying and talking about employees behind their backs. It's run like he's 5yrs old

Pros

Growing company opening many store way to fast and forgetting about older stores.

Cons

No focus on older stores. Double standard on following SOP. Some store cheat to get ITC and ESP and stores that don't get harassed by District manager.

Thank you for your input, although we are concerned that you were unable to find a single positive thing to say about the company. After receiving so many good reports about work environment, benefits, vacation, bonuses, perks, discounts, co-workers, etc., from other employees and former employees, when someone is unable to report any "pro" feedback, it saddens us that they hadn't come to us while they were here. We wish you much success. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
