Pros

401k match, employee discount, fast paced work environment

Cons

Pay is not competitive. Work life balance is not supported. Store managers and assistant managers are rarely approved for PTO in excess of 2 or 3 days. Management is only allowed one Saturday off per month, even though two Saturdays per month, per manager, would provide adequate coverage. Last minute changes were always to be expected, but lately they are excessive and poorly communicated or poorly planned. Multiple new checklists and "tools" for success that in reality are just excess paper and busy work.
