Pros

respectable pay and good bonus opportunity

Cons

Local management still works with in the good ol boy program, so you can be a start on the rise one day and on the fence the next day-if your direct supervisor changes.

Seriously Flawed

Pros

Mid level supervisors are mostly competent because of promotion from within. The pay is extremely good for the kind of work required. Coworkers in general are competent and polite.

Cons

Upper level management on both the store and corporate levels seem to be disconnected from the reality of what their employees face in dealing with customers. Management above the department level is largely a clique. Employees are treated according to how much management likes them, not by their competency. Hours are in no way flexible, and getting time off is extremely difficult.
