Pros

Cool items and good discount

Cons

Poorly run and low pay compared to similar jobs with little ability to move up in the company. Corporate requires the enforcement of rules on their customers by staff. They will then make you out to be the bad person by telling the customer they would never have that policy and giving the customer discounts and other things to appease them when called. Staff are then scolded for the interaction and told they need to uphold those rules better next time. Some of the customer base feels they are entitles to massive discounts and free stuff and will threaten to call corporate each time knowing they will get their way.

Pros

Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

Cons

The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
