Pros

Some weekends off. Good place if you just want to be an hourly employee.

Cons

On the road a lot. Must be "IN" with upper management for promotions. Pay is low for workload given. Long hours and hard to get time off. Looked down apon when asked for time off to see doctors. Benefits are below stanards and must take in first 30 days or there is no opportunity to receive them after. They send information packets to wrong addresses so you can receive the benefits.

Pros

They pay is competitve for medium box retail. You are surrounded by Cristian themes. The beautiful dispays you can build put a nice twist on the typical retail landscape.

Cons

You will work 75 hours a week Feb-Oct. You will work 90 hours a week Nov-Jan. You will get NO Days off except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day during Nov, Dec, Jan. You will get a project in april that will require 80 hour weeks, so that you miss Easter. The Cristian Claimed company will take you away from your family during all Christian Holidays. The DM or RVP will send email canceling days off at least once a month. Of course you will already be working those off days if you care about your store meeting weekly inspections. When you finally get over the hurdle and are ready to take a day off, instead you will go to corp. meeting and listen to the cheers of the hundreds of millions the company profited off your efforts and get handed a bonus check for 8K. I would rather had the day off. The company tried to say no working on Sundays, but then retracted when they learned that managers were working 5am to midnights 6 days a week to compensate. So they went back to the 7 day work week.
