Pros

You have the opportunity to offer customers the products that can change their lives for the better. You have the chance to build relationships with the folks you meet.

Cons

Deplorable senior management beginning at the Supervising Store Manager (SSM) level to the Divisional Vice President for region 32. Zero direction from management above the store manager level, and intense ridicule, criticism, passive aggressiveness, and favoritism among the SSM, RSD, and DVP group. Scapegoating of SSM responsibility on to store managers. "Do as I say, not as I do." mentality. I completely agree with individual's post from February 29, 2012 entitled "Roller Coaster".

Pros

Generous discount, flexible hours, laidback

Cons

Colleagues will often fall to their lack of thorough training and lack of pay. Career progression is also a dead end when you hit store manager unless you want to give 5-10 years of your life to the company for hardly any pay.
