Pros

Pros include sometimes having a nice manager and co-workers. It basically stops there, though. Managers and up have decent health insurance options.

Cons

Your schedule will probably suck, which is to be expected in retail/sales. They make company-wide changes without the plan being fully thought out, resulting in employees being screwed over when they have to fix their mistakes. They just took away everybody's PTO that they have been working on accruing for the past year (PTO is earned yearly). They are extremely disorganized and will say they will give updates on something on a given date, but the update doesn't come until several days later. They do not show that they value their employees. Highly NOT RECOMMENDED, especially if you are a hard worker and/or looking to establish a career.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, fun culture, opportunities for ongoing training. There are many locations and roles that allow people to move around. The environment is professional. If you enjoy working with people, the customers and employees are among the very best.

Cons

Every day is different but that keeps things interesting.

Pros

Profit sharing in this day and age is unheard of. Kudos to Stinker for exceeding expectations and sharing the profitability of the company with it's people. 25% 401K match is also wonderful. I can't thank Charley Jones enough for these. My job is enjoyable with a light atmosphere most of the time.

Cons

Poor opportunity for advancement. When you come to work for the company they tell you that as long as you work hard, make yourself available, score well on your annual reviews, and exceed expectations that you be eligible for advancement. NOT TRUE! The top 5 in this company feel that the lower level employees are just that - lower level. Sure if you want to advance from a cashier to an assistant manager, that opportunity abounds. But if you want to go above assistant manager, you need not bother to apply. Managers are overworked and underpaid. College degrees are the only opportunity to advance with this company, even if you NEVER worked a day in retail. If you have a degree - you will advance. The culture of this company is a lie. They tell you that they hire from the inside - but they don't. Oh sure - you can apply for the open position, but you won't get it without that degree. Your years of experience that you might bring to the table (from inside and/or outside the company) will not matter. They are not interested.
