Pros

Able to move within the company

Cons

The pay is not what is promised. Unless you are at a large location then don't count on any end of the month bonus. At hire they stat you will earn $47,000./year... In reality it is $37,632/yr. I was told my bonus' would be between $700-900 EACH MONTH ... Sure that's true if you happen to get hired for a Large location of at least $20M/yr store... However for a small store of annual sales of 5-6M/yr... My monthly bonus' have been.........$25. So... if you are ok with $16/hr at 45 hrs/week with insurance that is more expensive that the open marketplace then this is the place for you.

Pros

It is possible to make significant money in production bonuses. If work is slow, they take volunteers to go home early, About once a week. I personally like that it is extremely physical, great for burning calories and staying in shape.

Cons

Management of this site is laughable. There is a great deal of nepotism. Small injuries, cuts, scrapes, bruises, smashed fingers, and banged shins are a daily occurrence.
