Pros

Friendly environment. Love the senior management, very approachable and supportive and open to new ideas.

Cons

Employees can not leave the store for their breaks. The water service has been taken away. No discount for employees on markdown products. Back office technology is very old fashion and not effecient.

Pros

discount, pay was pretty good, benefits good

Cons

hours, expectations too high considering they give you very little to work with in regards to payroll, staff, etc... Very "political" when it comes to promotions, etc... You must be a brown noser to move up...
