Pros

Run the business as your own personal store. Gives you great insight on all that it involves to run a store from the staffing aspect, to merchandising, and to running your own account receivables.

Cons

The company needs to standardize their practices. Management is inexperienced and unorganized. They should hire more people with a retail background and deep understanding in how businesses work. Their training practices should be better adjusted as well.

Pros

Steady employer that is investing heavily in itself. Privately held. Great boss & team - work life balance was the best I ever had. Felt like I was affecting the bottom line every day. Good cross training.

Cons

Not a lot of room for advancement. Low salaries and raises. Union environment can be difficult to navigate. Hiring process is too lengthy - mine went relatively quickly, but have spoken to many others who have interviewed since then, and found that they were taking months to make hiring decisions.
