Pros

Not many pros. I enjoyed working with my team and my group of peers. The benefits kicked in very quickly- the first Monday of the month after I was hired.

Cons

The DM was terrible- always unreachable. Threatened GM's jobs on conference calls and during store meetings. Very morale killing. The systems are old school. There is way too much paperwork. The support center must be outsourced to India, because no one who answers the phone speaks English very well. The training is a joke. A 50 hour work week is mandated, but you are lucky if you work anything under 60. If you can get a job somewhere else- take it because you will regret taking this one!!

Pros

- Sometimes you'll get lucky and get good co-workers. - Flexible hours - Close Management, so requested time off isn't always a big issue. - The 20% off is pretty good.

Cons

- Like any other job, there are 2 face employees. - District Managers don't really pay attention to lower sales associates. - Advancement within the company is very small unless you know someone in a good place.
