Pros

Flexiable lower and middle management are helpful friendly and help you meet you personal goals and famliy obligations, benifits are fair.

Cons

No real vision plan, upper management is out of touch with the person working the floor, If you work part time benifits will eat over half of your wages, most new hires are pool or part time.
