Pros

The store itself has great deals and I find myself shopping after/before work a lot! We get a 20% discount which is nice.

Cons

I am always a reliable employee... I go to school full time and half another job and still have only ever called out ONCE in three years due to being extremely sick. In my opinion they take advantage of my work ethic to the max. I am ALWAYS the one stuck doing the projects everyone else left behind or "didn't have time for" people can make excuses all they want but when they expect things from you once they realize you are a hard worker then its all downhill from there. They know I have school in the morning and still have me stay late (after the store closes) to finish projects that someone else should have done. I am suuuupppeeerrr sick of it. Maybe my situation is a special case and I really don't think it has anything to do with corporate but boy have I had bad luck with managers.

Pros

The culture is amazing and the hourly associates make it worth your while.

Compensation for area managers is not good. You can hit hit all your goals and improve your department and still get a meets expectation on your annual review.
