Pros

Company is improving merchandise and assoicate relations over the past few years. Lots of opportunity for advancement for Management. Better schedule rotation then most retail companys. Company is reaching out to younger trending customers by bringing in new merchandinse and concepts.

Cons

Old school management and employees are unflexiable and not as open to change. Change is forced on stores by Home Office Management. Many stores are in need of major updates and renovations.

Pros

Decent hours, you get off earlier depending on the size of the truck coming in that day which can be a good and bad thing. You also get several hours before the store opens without customers. No late nights.

Cons

Too early for some, and even earlier mornings during high traffic times of the year like Christmas/Black Friday Sales days.
