Pros

Growth within the company is great due to very high turn over

Cons

No work life balance. You will not be home before 8pm and your day will start at 4am. You are allowed one day a week off and you are required to work until close in one of your stores each week and remember your day starts at 4am so that is a 18 hour day.

Pros

Opportunity for advancement is there if you work. if you're in a good area the regulars customers are great. Good employee incentives ie: coupons, discounts.

Cons

They pay barely over minimum wage so finding good employees is hard. Cutting payroll towards the end of the quarter makes it nearly impossible to run a thriving store. Too much emphasis on the MAG and not on individual store needs.

Great Place to work!

Pros

Great place to work, overall. Customers were almost always polite, and running the register made the time fly by.( 5 hours went by in like 30 minutes!)

Cons

Did not get to hardly ever use the restroom. And when I did try to hurry and go to the restroom, I always had at least 1 customer or more waiting on me, when I got back. And I always hurried, and was back in less than 2 minutes! And the lines rarely ever ended!
