Pros

Good 401k Decent benefits Good bonus program for management.

Cons

Woefully understaffed- Store often has one employee on staff for over half the day store is open. Lead generation- 50 plus calls a week to prospective customers is a joke. No realistic time to get this done. District Management- My store was up 30 percent in sales for the year and yet all we got were emails from our DM about what we were doing wrong. District Manager and City Managers have become arrogant, self important crybabies. They preach team work and yet they don't want to get their hands dirty and help out. Promoting the wrong people- I have watched, myself included, good men being passed over for upper management jobs so company can fulfill quotas and hire women and minorities. I have absolutely nothing against women and minorities being promoted as long as they put in hard work and deserve it, but many of them do not. Sunday hours are pointless!!! Open way too long on Sundays. Makes it impossible to staff store for the rest of the week.

Pros

It's a paycheck every week. Ok benefits

Cons

They only promote college graduates. It's not what or how much you know it's who you know. Hard work a dedication means nothing. The way people are treated and talked down to is very unprofessional. I just hope I can stop someone from wasting as much time as I did 8 years to be exact.

Pros

401k, benefits, company car, people you work with

Cons

Program after program to keep up with, making liars and cheaters out of good employees just to keep up with the next program. Methods based reviews. Sales and customer service are not 1st priority of management. People buy from people is an urban legend.
