Pros

No education requirements. Medical, Dental and Eye Insurance available although it is poor.

Cons

Corporate attitude is, "Everyone is terrible at their jobs and an idiot but me". Backstabbing and lack of trust is unbelievable. Extreme micro-management by corporate office. Procedures that alienate customers and disenfranchise employees. Refuse to even hear feedback. Opinions are considered "insubordinate" and you will be threatened with termination which will eventually happen. HIGH MANAGEMENT TURNOVER due to disrespectful treatment and frustration over unrealistic operations expectations. Lack of customer service sense. Everything is a transaction pretending to be an interaction. No concern for overworking employees, 10 - 12 hour days, 60 hour weeks as management are typical due to unrealistic production demands. Absolute lack of business know-how. This company has only succeeded due to the fact that it fills a need, not because they know or are any good at what they are doing. Redundancy and waste at corporate level. Company acts like a giant corporation and treats its store employees like a chain gang. Everything this company does is for the sole purpose of feeling like big shots. Management RARELY gets to use the vacation days they are given. Extremely intentionally misleading advertisements.

Pros

Building a clientele. Meeting new people. Some of the other employees.

Cons

Work long hours/extra help is not appreciated, just expected. Unrealistic expectations out of their employees. The only thing that they care about is money in their pockets. No work/family balance, just work they don't care about your family time unless you are a 'favorite', the you can get whatever you want.

Pros

There are sometimes free lunches, the employees can be friendly, some customers as well. There's a variety of items on the daily so that's nice

Cons

Bonuses are far and few. They hype up the company to be this big enjoyment and money filled career it's not. And if you are a woman good luck on assuming you will be treated fairly, not that great of an environment with negativity
