Pros

It's a great job to work if your in high school, or college. They work great with your schedule, and it's easy to get time off. People who are on the same level as you are great to work with as well. You can make some great relationships with those on your position level, and below. Being able to transfer stores can be an easy process since they are always needing help. Pay is good for a high school or college student.

Cons

Where do I start... They don't give you enough hours to support a family, and the only way to get more hours is to pick up shifts on your days off which only gives you one day off a week sometimes. The partner discount is the worse I've ever had.. 10%? Really? Sometimes it's only 10 cents off If you want to get into management you have to know someone in management. There's a lot of politics, and nepotism that goes on behind closed doors. No matter how hard you work, if there's someone on the outside who knows someone they will most likely get the opportunity over you. Managers let gossip go around the store, and never put an end to it. Upper management doesn't hardly do anything around the store expect pick things off the shelf (cardboard), and sit around in their offices on their phones talking about sports. If your in any type of Lead position/assistant you are always micromanaged. Upper management doesn't consider your opinions on different types of systems, and new methods to increase sales.

Pros

If you're into being left alone while you work, you can count that as a pro for this company. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else that really stands out as something to look positively on. Some might say that the pay is good, but for the level of work one does, the pay is peanuts.

Cons

Where do I begin? This company is a mess. The infrastructure is a muddled cobweb of nepotism, and favoritism. It's a good ol boys club, and if you're not a butt kisser, then expect to slog through your work day like an Egyptian slave constructing the great pyramid of Giza. Management is a joke. No one in the upper echelon is held accountable for their actions. And, they spend their days sitting on their fat butts, eating popcorn, and drinking cheap coffee. When they are on the floor, they give you the stink eye of all stink eyes, and expect you to sacrifice your well being for the company's productivity. I could go on and on, but with what I've described entails a whole lot more. The machine is broken, and the cogs need a greasing. Work here at your own peril.

Pros

Great environment. Google-esque. And awesome location for downtown corporate HQ.

Cons

They consider the bonus as salary when it's not. Yes, they have offered it for 9 years straight, but that could also change.
