Pros

good pay... for the economy being in such a poor state..

Cons

way too pushy on the numbers game. If you don't produce you face getting canned. On the hourly rate no way to live semi-normal without a second income. Meaning very difficult to make ends meet alone.

Pros

Some employees are very professional and couteous, but get no recognition.

Cons

Unprofessional management, no recognition for job well done, store manager is NOT customer oriented, store manager does not know how to treat employees. Store manager is abrupt to employees if he acknowledges them at all. I have seen some employees humilate customers yet those employees get recognized for a job well done! Management have no clue.
