Pros

Excellent health insurance and 401(k) matching options, significant employee discount, and some paid holidays.

Cons

Inconsistent scheduling, schedules posted with little notice, high turnover rate, low pay for work required. Management is overall very unorganized and there seem to be communication issues within the individual store and throughout the company as a whole.
