Pros

Profit sharing Coworkers 10% discount on stuff at stores

Cons

Worst job of my life. moved from dept manager to corporate. Bad move. Not worth the money for the stress. Have recently lost lots of people at headquarters . Most everyone here hates there job and is trying to get out. Constantly put down by upper management i kid you not, you will be called f***ing stupid, told you will be demoted to secretaries, car washers or send to distribution center to drive fork lifts. Try to keep you there by holding 30% of your money. You think it will get better but it doesn't. No loyalty to employees. Managers was fired because they sold took much during a sale. Constant paranoia about being fired so people become backstabbers so they don't get fired.

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
