Pros

Company values are great, easy to get in

Cons

Managers are so clique-y and store manager makes you so on edge and is passive aggressive when you do something wrong. They say that there's no "drama" but of course there is. So many unspoken rules and expectations and all the managers have different rules so its hard to know what to do sometimes.
