Pros

Pay is not bad for a market, benefits are great

Cons

Work is very physical and demanding, hours can be brutal. Hours can be cut cut to less than 20 if you can't give them your life or are not in school. Lots of favoritism. Dirty environment, don't use the restroom!

Pros

since i've been there more than five years the pay for me is a pro. coworkers are friendly and i live close enough to walk to work. fast paced environment.

Cons

management is so bad. the company has grown so fast that they promoted people just to fill spots. no one is qualified or mature enough to "manage". there is zero communication. all the mates are just trying to get promoted and could care less what the needs of the store or the crew are. the review process is unfair and favoritism runs rampid. it's not a fun place to work anymore and that really makes me sad.
