Pros

None. There were no good things.

Cons

Manager fired with no notice of severance, cited “business decision”, is now fighting unemployment causing my family financial distress. There was never any room for growth.

Pros

- Great people to work with. - Paid time off and benefits

Cons

- Salaries across the board are not in line with market value. They have a reputation for paying consistently low wages with a high volume of work, across the board. - They contribute very little to your health insurance. - There is relatively little or no training. - Very little room for upward growth - Very few paid holidays. In the past they have just closed the store, on holidays such as Christmas Eve and New Years instead of paying their employees. Employees would have to them use any leftover personal time to get paid. There’s a lot of Corporate greed going on here
