Pros

Awesome environment Great benefits Not stuck in one department Opputunity to grow

Cons

They have changed the management structure and are deadset on hiring more managers from outside the company instead of inside hires. There is a particular culture that someone "off the street" doesn't get and it is demeaning and detrimental to the morale of the crew to have these corporate minded people be our bosses on the first day Some customers just can't be handled

Pros

Awesome staff Great benefits (if you want them) Christmas bonuses

Cons

Management at my store did tend to be a bit haywire, but it was manageable and now I hear from former co-workers that they have straightened that out.

Pros

They are friendly, good benefits , 10% of discount in purchases, very easy job.

Cons

You have to lift heavy things (50 pounds). They change your schedule every week. They cut the hours for those who work part-time
