Pros

some good benefits for employees

Cons

Not a good place for a woman to work at. The corporate office is full of males who will say anything to try and get a head in this family owned business. All the men have the same backgrounds and women are not respected there in this day and age.

Pros

There are no more Pros.

Cons

Everyone there that was directly interested in making the company successful and who's own interests were purely for the company being successful have all been let go in the last two years. Those of us who saw the writing on the wall got out early but the great strives being made were all thrown by the wayside bye folks that continue to run the company into the ground. It is sad to see what was such a great company pre-Covid run into the ground due to poor decision-making by managers still in place and those who sought to avoid such decisions were let go.

Pros

Private owned company, If you are looking for a middle management or upper management job it appears we are hiring at a rapid rate.

Cons

Used to be much more of bottoms up company where hard work was noticed and appreciated and rewarded. Now it is a top down,,,,top heavy company with layers of upper and middle management that are disconnected from what made it a great company. Tons of overhead that retail locations have to pay for. Advancement by any other means than knowing someone or being buddies is futile. Thinking that your hard work and loyalty will get you a chance at being offered advancement is a waste of time.
