Pros

No company-wide layoffs. Benefits are good. The company gives employees stock!!!

Cons

Promotions: Limited number of stores so promotions can be slow if you're not in the "in" crowd. Good ole boy environment in upper management. Concerns and recommendations are rarely considered. For part-time employees, it is a good company to work for but not so much for full-time and even worst for management, especially if you have a family. You won't know you schedule until the Wed prior to the week's start. No set schedule. Work every weekend unless requested off, even if you rarely do! Ask for days off and it hurts your chances of promotion, God forbid you are a single parent! They do not care for the employee as a person.
