Pros

The discount is great and I really liked the direction of the company and the great leadership of higher up people within the organization. They have a good training program and allow employees to trade information among themselves.

They have a good training program and allow employees to trade information among themselves. They do a good job of keeping everyone informed of what is going on throughout the company and the growth has truly been amazing.

Cons

Some of the downsides include a schedule which is somewhat limited and not very flexible. I think they could do a better job with some of their lower level store managers since many of them have very limited experience and were often on power trips. The hours can get a little long especially during the holidays and they don't like when you share your discount with others. They need to pay a little better and offer better benefits even for part-time employees. There were often conflicts between managers who would tell you one thing and then another one will tell you something else.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
