Pros

Good pay and benefits , holidays off with pay

Cons

This company wants to always talk about customers and how much they care about them but you know who they never talk about and don't care about? EMPLOYEES! If you live in a state where breaks are not mandatory and thiers no laws against how many days you can work be prepared to get 1 break on 8 hours and 2 breaks on 10 hours plus working 6-7 days a week. Vacation time is a joke, you get two weeks of vacation at 3 or 4 years then won't get a third week until 10 years, thier are people working Part time in retail who get more vacation time then we do and we work 6-7 days a week. Do you think people at corporate get that little bit of vacation time?' NO!
