Pros

-I love working with the customers and employees. -Everyday there is something new so the job never gets old. -Company is currently performing very well.

Cons

-Very difficult to move up and be noticed in the zone unless you are a drinking buddy of the zone manager. -Frequent disrespect from zone management which can include being cursed at, unprofessional conversations & being yelled at and embarrassed in front of coworkers. -Schedule is very hectic which is to be expected in retail. -Low pay compared to similar companies with similar position. -Can't get a good evaluation unless they think you are ready to run your own store. You can do a great job at your current point in your career but can't be evaluated fairly because you don't have enough time in to be a store manager. -Constant store visits from upper management distract from helping customers and actually doing the job that needs to be done. -Never being recognized for doing a good job, just being beat on the head when numbers aren't met.

Pros

Decent health care that is affordable thanks to the union. Union jobs means job protection. If you can pass a drug test and act pleasant in the interview, they are likely to hire you.

Cons

Managers go out of their way to screw you over. They break the union contract at every turn. BE ON YOUR TOES! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! Condescending attitude in management. Very few managers have spent longer than a week doing the job you do. They are out of touch with the demands of every department and they set unattainable goals. Managers will lie right to your face, screw you over, and look for excuses to fire you. They know that they will not be held accountable for their behavior by their boss. Their job is secure. If you decide to work here, make sure you join the union. You will NEED it.
