Pros

Top competitor in it's market. I have watched them evolve for many years. The company doesn't place too much pressure on it's employees.

Cons

Some of the cons I see while working at rainbow are: the need to update the computer systems more. Customers come in expecting things one way, and we are constantly stating that our systems don't allow us to do that. I also think the buying department needs to make better buying decisions in regards to merchandise.
