Pros

Nice people, good benefits, good flexibility with day to day work, able to structure schedule around family obligations

Cons

Management not very open about direction they are going and your part in it. Not helpful when seeking a move to another area...concerned about keeping everything "fair" rather than retaining good talent that is committed to the company.

Pros

good discounts. Friendly and easy to get along with co-workers

Cons

didn't know up front that work hours depended upon how many credit applications you can sale. the more you sign up people for credit cards the more hours they will give you. Otherwise your hours will be 5 hours -10 hours per week or if that.

Pros

The company as a whole is great to work for in regards to benefit, PTO, but you sacrifice holidays, work life balance, and long days. The pay is decent. If you threaten to quit, you can negotiate for more.

Cons

The company asks a lot of the store to get more done with less. These tasks will fall on the ASM and the area supervisor to complete along with everything else we already have on our plates. It's nearly impossible to get everything done unless you are working long days. Even when you are doing all that you can do, compliments are minimal. There is always something wrong, something to do better, something forgotten. Your job is never done. Holiday season is a whirlwind. There is so much to do, you might as well just sleep there. The company says that associate engagement is very important, yet it gets lost with the ASM' s. The employees get away with a lot! I could go on forever. I don't recommend this company.
