Hardest you’ll ever work for the lowest you’ll ever be paid
Pros
Fantastic job security because no one wants to work here, for many, many very good reasons.
Cons
Almost everything else. The company has zero consistency, and does not appear to be serious about improving anything at all. At this point it’s more of a ponzi scheme. Their same-store year-over-year growth is around 1%, because when you only build in small towns that do not grow in population, your stores’ customer base never increases, but to attract investment you must show growth. This is why they keep building new stores. So they need the investment to build stores, but they need to build stores to show growth to attract investment. All this means is this company is a “growth” company and not a “retail” company, meaning they do not care about their stores at all beyond the first year, which means they do not care about their employees’ wellbeing at all, so much so that they treat employees as an expense they’d rather not have.
