Pros

Room for growth for people who are willing to put in the work. Good benefits. Managers are typically supportive and positive.

Cons

Pay isn’t that great. Managers are on a fixed salary, it’s possible for employees to earn more than managers since the employees earn OT and the managers don’t despite working crazy hours. Company is so focused on sales growth they could not hire people fast enough to keep up with demand. Put stress on employees and resulted in long hours/burnout.
