Pros

The benefits are great! They would be hard to match in a similar retail environment. The pay is also substantial for the positions. The culture of each store is very different but ours is awesome. I feel like I go to work with close friends and family on a daily basis and we always strive to have fun while getting our job done.

Cons

Work/life balance for a Manager is almost non-existent. We are salaried employees at 50 hours with no overtime (loop hole for "executive" employees). We are definitely not executive employees, and you will always put in more than 50 hours per week. You are also on-call 24/7 for any type of an "emergency". This leaves little time for family, friends, hobbies, etc. There are little to no opportunities to move up within the company. They do not have a hire from within culture.

Pros

They have good pay and decent hours. Bosses are really easy to talk to and get along with, good environment.

Cons

The work can be exhausting. Co-workers are awful, everyone is miserable. There is no end time, you work until you're finished.

Pros

pay well, good career prospects up to store manager.

Cons

The whole infrastructure has not kept up with the upsurge in sales. Very Area management expect managers to work well in excess of their contracted hours.
