Pros

good people to work with at associate level. Great benefits and perks. Room to grow and expand. The skies the limit if you want.

Pros

Provides flexible hours and great coworkers. If you are a hard worker and become certified in all areas of store, it can be easy to move up to management.

Cons

There is little recognition from upper management towards associates. Managers have long hours around 45+. After becoming a manager hard to move any further up. Easy to feel "stuck" in job and position.
