Pros

40% Discount on house brand, 15% on everything else Cool visuals within the store Great fellow co-workers Never a dull moment

Cons

Management decisions for wages, promotions, and other important issues seem to be based off of a weak set of morals and principles. Definitely some bro-KI-n links in senior management, not to mention some very poor GSMs. Communication is NOT a strong suit of most members of the management team. Pay raises are generally 3%per year, not truely based on what each associate brings to the table. Direction vary's throughout the store, depending on which manager or the mood of the manager that you recieve it from (if you recieve ANY direction from the management team AT ALL). Overall, store morale is VERY low, and there seems to be ZERO effort on behalf of the management to correct this. US Prices only on website. Very frustrating to communicate to a customer WHY our prices are generally 20-40% higher than USD when Canadian dollar has been strong for 2 years. Canada seems to be the dumping ground for excess product, and a place that corporate uses to make up margin from a failing american economy.
