Cons

Management are by far the worst at this store. (Las vegas) this store has been under review for more than a year now and things just seem to keep getting worse. Mangers just like to piont the finger on how it the associates faults that the store doesn't make plan. However, where will you find these so called mangers? In the office sitting like ducks. Not a single manger nor store director can even work a a cash register so if you ever have a problem you're better off asking your peers or leads for help. Also management fails to recognize people for their hard work and dedication to the store. It no wonder why associate are quitting ever month.
