Pros

The coworkers and a couple of managers were the only things getting me out of bed and into that place. I had grown to really like them and didn't want to let them down.

Cons

I had the enjoyment of working there for 4 years. Unfortunately, I only received a dollar in total raises, and that is after they raised they minimum pay; which they bumped many of us to, forgoing previous raises and told us tough luck. Management can't agree nor communicate about any issues, let alone keep a grip on themselves unless they're all hanging out in the office gossiping for hours on end. On top of that, good luck getting your work done. You might reach your goals or finish your projects, but they will come around and ask you to either undo all of the work you just did or have you make up for someone else, who they won't ever approach about their lack of effort. Nope, you did a good job? Here, make up for everyone else.

Pros

There is not a single "pro" to be listed.

Cons

The entire corporate office is beyond ignorant. Completely out of touch with reality, price gouging customers trying to raise profit margins for the non profit. Everyday at any second one call from corporate and there is a change to how everything has to be done, usually causing more issues only to blame people who had nothing to do with their ideas. They don't let the store manager be a store manager.. in fact, I'll sum up everything you need to know in one sentence.. they went as far as to install systems to remotely control the thermostat from their comfy corporate office. Imagine not just the employees but the customers constantly complaining. That is how out of touch with reality they all are.
