Pros

Free lunch on Fridays, great staff members both in stores, DC and corporate professionals, great corporate location, senior leadership is truly passionate about company growth

Cons

Compensation way below the State Average, high education requirements for professional positions with no compensation to match, understaffing in professional departments, lacking leadership, no 401k Match, no tuition reimbursement programs, no career investment, so much company growth that the corporate professional departments that support the employees are forgotten about
