      Pros

      Fabulous hard working co workers

      Cons

      Employees over tasked. The work itself is not hard but the unrelenting pressure to complete tasks and take care of customers is impossible. High employee turn over rate. Enough said

      Pros

      Your coworkers and *some* managers are great to work with. The hours were not terrible. And they provide health insurance (pay 1/2 the first year, and pay in full after 1 year) for full time employees.

      Cons

      Most management is unhelpful, condescending, and not held accountable. The home office does nothing to make the store experience a good one. They have unwaiveringly adopted "the customer is always right" frame of mind, but has so many in store policies that they expect store employees to follow until a customer complains to the home office and they get their way making the in store staff seem uneducated. The pay is not great. They have so many policies and standards that are made nearly impossible to keep up with. They have "planograms" that they rarely have stock to fill.

      Pros

      Room for advancement, decent pay raises.

      Cons

      Company as a whole doesn't care much about its employees, doesn't create a good work environment.
