Pros

Sales associates are fun and great to work with, customers, though sometimes unhappy with the product are usually pleasant to deal with and the product is appealing.

Cons

Management is not promoted from within from the store level to the corporate level. Constant change in coroporate management so you don't know what is coming next. Company has been struggling financially for years and continues to lay off employees.
