Pros

Great pay, good benefits, tight knit crews. Product quality was good, prices are great. Impervious to economic trends. Painfully efficient. Individual work ethic potentially determines who stays and who goes. Credit cards not accepted.

Cons

Company is growing faster than they can handle. People are being promoted out of necessity vs. merit. Too many hours required to perform the job as it is designed. Training is an afterthought for all positions, especially those directly interacting with customers. Higher levels of management are unequiped to deal directly with lower level employees. Pay wages are based solely off a "one size fits all" pay scale which does not take into account the sheer level of stress higher volme stores can create.

Pros

Great salaries and benefits for full time employees.

Cons

Working a lot of extra hours. Poor work life balance. No matter how well you improve and achieve the goals set out for you it is never enough. Appreciation and praise is a quick passing thanks or good job the rest of your day is spent hearing what is wrong and what needs to be improved upon. 401K is horrible. They only contribute $2000 max per year and it takes 7 years to become 100% vested. There is extremely high turnover. Very few employees to accomplish an unfathomable amount of work. Sometimes only a manager is working in the entire store by themselves while other times you have a maximum of 3 people in the store, never more.
