Pros

It was great. I worked there for several years. They treat each of their employees well. Paid vacation and lunches were the norm.

Cons

The hours were long, management could have made better utilization of talent. Sometimes the benefits packages were not as desirable as they seemed.

Pros

They have some flexiblity to work around your schedule. Their benefits are reaasonable. It is fairly structured so most could be at least marginally successful.

Cons

They are interested in your sales ability, but the job is at least 50% stocking. Your time management is a critical skill that is not well screened during the hiring process. Stocking is not an area covered well during the hiring process so new associates are expectations are not alined with actualy duties they will perform. Management is focused on meeting sales goals and not able to focus on growing the business, building an exceptional sales staff, etc. Decision times are very lengthy allowing issues to languish. Mostly not an associate friendly place to work.
