Pros

Great pay. Great entry level position and experience

Cons

Terrible hours, company is way too serious and the culture is extremely uptight. There is a lack of honesty between different levels of management. By this, someone will say one thing to you when they are thinking something different. Many 'tests' throughout training that aren't known by employee.

Pros

The pay and benefits...that is pretty much it. They do teach you how to manage your time, right down to the second. Productivity is a huge part of their philosophy and it is pounded into you from the start.

Cons

There is little to no positive feedback to anything you do. Store conditions are always questioned, regardless of how it really looks. District Managers are in complete control of the store (micromanaged) and if they like something at a different store...guess what, your gonna change it in your store. Rules for running the store change from DM to DM. I went through 5 different DMs and each ran the store differently, focusing on completely different parts of the store. It was very hard to get used to. As for the last question of this review goes, I don't think that Charles (Chuck) Youngstrom knows what is happening at the store levels. He is fed whatever the Directors want him to hear (or what Chuck wants to hear).
