Pros

You really get the chance to put in your ideas and see how they impact the companies growth, and there are great opportunities to grow. The executive team is extremely humble and do not like to parade around as if they are better than the store level management and associates, they are very helpful and always try to inspire you when you contact them especially the current VPs, Ralph GIlson and Rob Demme, directors, Cindy Cosenza, Terry Hitzeman, Skip Myers. Even the corporate operations team is very helpful but most of all I believe Joesph Thomas to be the best of the team as he is very humble, likes to help where he can and always get involved hands on when the stores are in need.

Cons

If there is not a open minded senior manager running your department there will be a huge downfall especially if that person knows how to do things and just does not want to and the store manager is not willing to step in. Sometimes you are required to put in well over 50 hours in a week if you are salaried which is no really a bad thing.
