Pros

The employee discount of course, although it should probably be 33% to all employees (not just management) the workers all seem down to earth and friendly. Managers seem to be pretty lenient when it comes to switching shifts or getting necessary time off. Opportunity to make some good money is there with commission, but you must work hard (like any other job). If working full time, good benefits program. Pros definitely outweigh the cons. Good overall atmosphere!

Cons

Although the managers are smiling on the sales floor, the stock room tells another story. Management needs to take it down a notch on the ego-meter. All i wanted was a hello, eye contact, maybe any sort of acknowledgment after attempting to greet a regional manager. I received none. Instead? A good look up their nose because their head was held up so high. I understand that they are higher as far as our positions are concerned, but I never thought that managers would translate that as "I'm better than you." Less-knowledgeable and skilled workers are getting promoted due to favoritism as well. Nevertheless, be patient, prove yourself (even if it takes multiple times), and let management know you want to move up. They usually try to promote you as best they can.

Pros

You can make as much money as youd like if you really push yourself there is room to make a big profit. They are really good about keeping their employees and if you ever leave their re-hire process is amazing and quick.

Cons

Some departments are very competitive, and it takes having a strong customer base to really make it a full time profitable job.
