Pros

- Learn responsibility in a low stress environment. - Get your first real taste of how horrible people can be to anybody offering them a service. - Decent amount of career growth.

Cons

- The amount of happiness in the work place will hinge almost entirely on whether management at your particular branch is friendly/kind

Pros

Good pay, benefits were decent at first, offered dental but not good coverage, close to everything, good products, good sales

Cons

Insurance went down, dental coverage was limited & poor, management was selective as to who could get away with what, management allowed minorities to get away with more, some managers were sexist, schedules were made based on likes & dislikes, retaliation is quite common, human resources is useless, management jumps you like dogs attacking if you try to complain, management makes up lies & doesn't allow associates to prove their innocence, not all associates are held to dress code standards including wearing their hair down, wearing improper shoes, wearing other items not part of their uniform, & some associates can wear decorations for holidays while others are made to take them off, other associates are basically harassed for the slightest imperfection of their uniform, managesr talks about associates behind their backs, managers tells associates they can be management even though they don't mean it but doesn't help them fix the problems keeping them from advancing, members of management have obvious favorites & dislikes, also flirts with young girls in the store, as well as shares inappropriate information with associates, the associates who don't do their job aren't reprimanded for their screw ups so others have to fix their screw ups but then they're reprimanded for poor time management due to fixing other problems, managers micro manage too much costing too many man hours to be wasted, & the list goes on. I'm told most stores aren't like this but why couldn't this one be normal?
