Pros

Decent insurance and PTO for full time employees. Mostly good products at fair market prices. The extras you are expected to sell are useful to the customers, not scams. Good environment to learn retail. Great auditors/ LP dept.

Cons

Too much turnover at all levels. Embroidery is too labor intensive when the machine is not working properly, which happens quite often. Tendency over time to add to duties and expectations without a realistic view of how these additions can be accomplished. Hit or miss District Managers (some are very good, supportive and knowledgeable; others are more interested in CYA.) Tendency to enact change for the sake of change, rather than to improve the business.
