Pros

Nothing about this company is a Pro.

Cons

I was a Store Manager that couldn't make any decisions about my store. I wasn't allowed to interview my own employees, I wasn't allowed to get rid of any bad employees. The DM's that have never had a retail job fresh out of college run your store from their cell phones. If you think that you will be running your own store with this company, you are dead wrong. You are just a door mat for the real store Manager (DM). I also worked an average of 70 hrs a week and never saw my family. I once worked 5am on a Tuesday morning until 3pm on Wednesday because of an inventory and a visit. I was also asked to do a stretch assignment in a store 2 hrs away for one week that was mandatory, that turned into a month with no reimbursement or travel pay.

Pros

None none none none zero

Cons

You never have a time to be with your family, you wil miss a lot of kids baseballs, soccer,summer picnics.... if you need specific day off good luck!!! They want you to be available from 6am until 10pm 7 days a week 365 day no Question asked... If you are managet the alarm company can call you anytime day or night and you have 2 go back to store... if store looses electricity you can be there 24hours plus working with flashlights and even that is not going to be good enough... Please don't give this company your time...!!!!!!! They don't care for there hard working employees.
