Pros

Salaried people get free lunch at buffet every day.

Cons

For what should be a FUN place to work, it is very very negative due to owner constantly yelling at everyone and berating them. Nothing is ever good enough, compliments are hard to come by and are usually given with back handed compliments to other co-workers. Management turnover is atrocious, all the good employees don't stay long. Great attitudes quickly turn sour. Owner says he wants change, and new ideas, but is not open to anything he doesn't suggest. If you are the kind of person that will not take abuse, don't work here. Owner is more worried about partying with cute young girls than running the business. Owner talks about politics, bashes other races, demeans women, and complains about having to pay employees. Owner has made employees work without pay as punishment for something he might not agree with. Does not pay overtime, but docks pay for salaried workers. ZERO vacation first year. Salaried employees have to clock in and out. Fires people regularly and usually for no valid reason - No jobs security here! Constantly trying to screw sales people out of commissions in various ways. There is no straight commision, you have to beat TWO previous years and only get bonused on amount in excess of previous year. Hard to do with an established business that isn't kept up. Not enough marketing to promote business and does not keep the center in good condition. Several meeting a month with owner telling everyone how bad we are at our jobs and we need to get a better attitude.

Pros

I work at the new location in Gladstone. I absolutely love it. The staff is all treated equally and it feels almost like a big family. There are some that this job won't work for, but its perfect for me. I have already gotten a raise as well as a hint on a promotion in the near future. I am almost full time, and wouldn't have it any other way. Ive made some mistakes here and there but the owner has yet to yell at me. The GM is pretty laid back but can definitely put his fist down when needed. I do believe the managers work hard during their crappy hours, could be because the owner is on them like white on rice, but i couldn't imagine being here from open to close. I love this place and will most likely stay put till the future works itself out.

Cons

Owner says derogatory things from time too time, takes awhile for a compliment to slip out, but when he does do it, it feels genuine. Many employees are lazy and still in high school. There are some that don't care, and its easily visable.
