Pros

They are good with promoting from within and rewarding the individuals for doing a great job. Bonuses are pretty nice if you run good numbers and be cheap with operating expenses.

Cons

Wow I can go on and on. The associates are so unprofessional and really don't care at all, but you are in a lose lose situation because if you fire them you wont get your people quota bonus and will be short staffed. As a unit manager you will be the taxi, referee, counselor, maintenance man, punching bag, custodian, and any other thing thats required. This position is a disgrace to anyone with a bachelor's degree. Also, if you are family oriented please kiss those events goodbye. You are required to work all holidays. I worked 15 plus hours on Christmas because my second shift could not handle the volume. If you are in need of a job and dont really have family, friends, and no life this job is for you. I would advise anyone to stay so far away from this company.
