They care about their employees and make sure to work with you in regards to whatever life issues may come up. Also just a fun place to work.

Cons

It can be slow at times but other than that I have no complaints

Pros

The company has great benefits and does try to treat employees with care and compassion. PTO and sick time accumulate quickly. Obviously it's not perfect, but if you have a good store manager and good coworkers it's a great place to work. In terms of retail jobs, it's miles ahead of any other I've worked.

Cons

It's retail. The work can be very physically demanding. We get floating holidays but the store is only closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Many higher level employees stay with the company for a long time so there isn't a ton of opportunity for advancement unless you relocate.
