Pros

Awesome associates and managers (mostly). Decent pay depending on position. Customers are over all pretty decent as well. As long as your able to get full time there will be vacation, and holiday pay. Not a hard job just a lot of physical labor (I'm a stocker).

Cons

Once corporate bought the company it went slowly downhill . Now it seems to be about the almighty dollar for them. More work load for us. New rules and old rules change constantly it's even hard for supervisors to keep up with. Overall it's a decent company to work for.

Pros

If you have experience they can pay very well considering the size of the company. Depending on which store you are in, they can be pretty good at fostering a good environment and culture.

Cons

Company is primarily focused on sales and not customer experience. So expect a lot of metrics and hounding customers. Company is trying to be technologically forward but continues to neglect to invest in the technology. So there’s updates every week crashes every week with no communication around it.
