Pros

Starting out it was a great experience. Co-workers were a pleasure to be around, never minded coming to work every day, management looked out for you.

Cons

Store staffing has been drastically reduced to 3 people per store AND increasing store hours, forcing employees to work alone. This has become a security issue for current employees, not to mention little to no life/work balance since all stores are now open from 7-7 (with rumors of soon to become 7-8). Furthermore, current employees are denied a promotion despite having years of experience with the company. They would rather someone fresh from college with no experience in retail whatsoever.

Pros

Very skilled co-workers that know many processes and workings of the business very well.

Cons

Management is largely a group that does nothing. They will typically go to meetings the entire day but will have no daily work. You can move up, but will have to give your all... no family for you outside of work, so there is not much balance.
