Pros

Great Customers and quality products. Provides excellent customer service.

Cons

Promotion is based on tenure, not performance, so upper management protected by length of time with the company, not how well they are qualified for leadership. Associates are treated like slaves, not part of a team and not allowed to give input and are made to feel despensable. Benefits are excellent if you have been there for years but not expanding or opening new stores.

Pros

It's a job, a place to start or try to move up.

Cons

If you are not a puppet, you will not get any raises. Working hard and showing up on time and not calling in sick gets you nowhere.

Pros

If you work 1,000 hours in a year, they give you stock just for showing up. Can start your 401k early

Cons

It is a little hard to get full time or promoted, especially in Brevard county. Stores are not being built, so jobs only open when management quits or retires.
