      Great Company and Store Leadership

      Sales floor associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      One of the best part-time jobs I've ever had. Store Manager in my store is outstanding and sets such a positive atmosphere with his consistent expectations and no favoritism, also one of the funniest guys you'd ever meet. He takes the time to role-play with associates to help us gain additional earnings with protection plan spiffs

      Cons

      Too much is being asked of us to work late after hours (midnight to 6 am) with no additional compensation as other companies in the area do.

      Not a good career choice

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Health Insurance, Dental, Vision, Paid time off. Pretty much the standard stuff that most companies offer. Different plans to select from.

      Cons

      Think again if you are looking for a solid career. This is NOT the place!!!!!!!! I would suggest looking somewhere else before working here. VERY disorganized. You WILL work off the clock and your manager WILL change your time in the system.
