      Be careful - this company has laid off over 800 people in the last 4 years.

      Pros

      If you live near Hingham it is an easy commute. Otherwise, there are few direct routes to the headquarters

      Cons

      Job insecurity. Very little loyalty to associates. The compnay was bought by a private equity firm which may be looking at it an opportunity to make the balance sheet look good so they can turn around and sell the company for a profit. Anything is possible but long term outlook is very cloudy.

      Pros

      Everyone from sales staff, management, to senior executives to be extremely friendly and great to work with. Merchandise discount is very good. Great flexibility with scheduling.

      Cons

      The loss of medical benefits and inconsistent hours has been very frustrating. Promotions are too frequent. Should give more time to sell goods at full price. Pay scale is not great.
