Pros

Good pay, associate discount, for the most part co-workers are great people. Every company has a few that are not, but overall the workforce is hardworking and dedicated. Opportunities to advance

Cons

Leadership in the company is out of touch with what customer really want. No gimmick, just competitive low pricing. Prices have improved but nowhere near where they should be. Lack of work/life balance- recent Scheduling changes do are not conducive to a family life.
