Pros

Incentives, decent hours, friendly co workers

Cons

This company does take advantage of their employees. I started working here and loved it, but when I started learning how to open there have been several instances where I have had to come in on my day off to pick up a set of keys and when I told my manager that I was frustrated that I had to make a 30 minute drive to pick up a set of keys I was told to just "suck it up, its just part of the job." my TM was in the backroom and overheard the whole conversation and said nothing. So clearly the company does not care about their employees.

Pros

+ I like the people I work with + I get to look at new products early

Cons

+ Most customers are dumb as rocks and you gotta explain everything in detail like they're 4 1/2 trying to bleach or color their hair... (Some people even try to do that literally and I have to tell them they cant,and guess who doesnt listen...) + Upper management doesnt care about you + You have to upsell a credit card with a huge APR % rate (35-36℅ as of rn) thats not even worth it (which in other stores they might fire you because you dont upsell it enough) + I sometimes have to buy stuff for the store that corporate wont buy for us cause our monthly budget for toliet/cleaning supplies is only 30 dollars and we can only get it from the amazon business page they give us and its either we have toilet paper or paper towels once a month , never both,just either or... + Year appraisals are rigged so you can never EVER get a 4/5 or higher because in their words "nobodys perfect" and also they dont wanna pay us more than 25¢ per raise.
