Pros

Plenty of room for advancement if you're willing to move. Pay was reasonable for a young person without much work experience. Definitely a good place to build a strong work ethic.

Cons

Long hours, and instability among upper-level management made for a frustrating work environment. Often, customer complaints would be settled by store managers regardless of policies in place by corporate...essentially taking away any leverage mid-level managers had to support the business.

Pros

40+ Hours per week of work guaranteed.

Cons

A toxic work environment can lead to termination without warning. Senior management prioritizes their interests and the company’s well-being, often disregarding employees’ rights and legal obligations. HR’s role is to protect senior management and the company, potentially at the expense of employees’ rights. Senior management continually chooses to a blind eye to wrong doing of favored employees, while knowingly prioritizing punishment of lower employees using fabricated policies that aren’t actually within store policy and procedures. Lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of integrity run rampant with in the store and company. Unethical hiring practices, and weaponized incompetence to justify the out right gaslighting of your financial income and incentives. Pay deductions common place.
