Horrible place to work

Pros

Great friendships were formed and the people at lower level management are great. Upper level management has no clue how stressful life is for employees.

Cons

Overworked, chew them up and spit them out kind of attitude, unless you are one of the "golden, chosen few" who are treated very well.

Pros

Flexible hours for students and people who want a 2nd job. Shifts go by quickly. Friendly, happy customers who like the store.

Cons

No real "cons" for me. You get out of a job what you put into it. This is good for me.

Pros

The pay is ok. The atmosphere is casual and you can dress pretty much any way you want. Mainly because the CEO is very casual.

Cons

Very Political. The turnover is tremendous, in the last two years it seams that almost every senior vice president has left and been replaced.
