Pros

- I worked with a great team of professionals - Former management had good, long-term vision for the company - I took pride in working for a company that put so many smiles on so many children's faces - Never a dull moment; every day was different

Cons

- New ownership = short-term thinking. It's all about their exit in a few years - Labor pressure on store operations was unrealistic; too much pressure on them to do more with less - This was a great place to work before current PE firm took ownership

Pros

Nothing really. You get to wake up each day knowing you have failed at life.

Cons

Horrible pay. Job is very reliant on making performance bonus, but with the accounting department being so poor at their jobs, your P&L is pretty much a crap shoot. No support from upper management, extremely poor life/work balance. Stores always get blamed for the failures of the CEO and Operations Director, and now recently the marketing department.

Pros

Got to meet some amazing people. They pay for traveling.

Cons

Training changed tremendously within the 5 years I was there. "Cut labor cut labor cut labor".
