Pros

Great Benefits, including insurance and pay. Great people inside the store. Mostly understanding management personel who would work with you when needed.

Cons

Company layed off and demoted a number of people a year before I left, and that left a bitter taste in my mouth. Instead of doing layoffs based on performance, they were done based on who was with the company by store. It should have been either by senority by market area or performance based layoffs. Doing it the way they did really lowered morale throughout the company.

Pros

Pay was fine, very amusing workplace..

Cons

Constantly changing priorities, hierarchical, nonsensical promotions that were difficult to explain. Sales pitches were more aggressive than helpful. Serious problems with management favouring some employees over others equally qualified.
