Pros

Great benefits, employees feel appreciated, hard work rewarded with day to day benefits as well as added responsibility, lots of fun, long lasting friendships...

Cons

Because management moves from store to store the standards are not always uniform; early mornings and late nights; physically taxing (but as I said, great health benefits)

Pros

Flexible hours, as long as you are willing to work weekends. Good place to work while a student - benefits start at 20 hours/week.

Cons

No longer a good long term employer. Hours can be brutal, but the compensation for that has dropped significantly. Used to be, the company utilized the unique abilities of each person. Now, everyone is required to be the same type of employee. People are hired for personality & suck up ability - no one takes responsibility for the day to day needs of our stores :(
