Pros

It is a job until you find something better with a more respectful company.

Cons

Seriously, to many to list. This company will not make it in the long run as their business "values" are so poor that it will catch up to them. Company is cheap and disloyal. Unrealistic expectations for payroll hours allotted. Very PHYSICAL work. Essentially overpaid stock/freight handler. A big bonus is $25 lunch divided among 20+ employees. You get CRUMBS but are suppose to be grateful. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!

Pros

used to be a great place to work. since going public the "do more with less and less" attitude that originally separated these guys from other retailers has creeped in.

Cons

very reactionary company. policies are not proactive and this puts a tremendous stress on the stores that are basically expected to produce perfect results with zero support from the office
