      Pros

      The employee discount is really nice.

      Cons

      I used to think this brand was local, but they haven't been local since the 90's. Management and floor supervisor definitely uses favoritism with some employees and shuns the others. Supervisors have a lack of actual management experience. I've seen them PIP and fire employees for asinine reasons. They have made the work environment awkward and unpleasant
