Vacation time is relatively short until you have a couple years under your belt. Takes awhile for the profit sharing to kick in.

Pros

Excellent job security. The company almost never fires people.

Cons

Very conservative company. Most executives and senior management are from the stores - they know how to run store well but not a company. So many initiatives in the corporate but most of them are going nowhere. The company doesn't treat their employees as an valuable asset and the salary and benefits are really bad.

Pros

This is a good retail experience for a short period of time. They do provide good benefits and fair pay. It is nice to be able to work so closely with the customers and employees.

Cons

Overworked and understaffed. No vacations on holidays. Daily changes handed down the chain. Not a fun environment. Bad music, customers, and daily tasks. Monotonous tasks get to you in time. I went to college to do more than stock shelves and move merchandise from here to there and back again.
