Pros

Great company, even better discounts. Your coworkers are your friends, and if you're in the right store, management fosters those relationships with all store events.

Cons

The store that I worked at had a lot of turnover and a store manager that went on vacation about six times a year. I know based on talking to employees in other cities that this doesn't happen everywhere. Management often caused drama with one another. I stayed because I loved my work and coworkers. The scheduling was the worst-- you had to maintain 30 hours of availability but you were usually only scheduled 15.
