Pros

Growth and advancement potential is there, but within certain "criteria". The company has a desire to improve overall, however, change is slow-coming. Job positions are transferable to other store locations nationwide.

Cons

The work schedule is not user friendly- shifts are erratically scheduled, 1 day open, 1 day close, then midshift etc etc. There is no way to form any kind of healthy routine for personal life or worklife, everyday your hours are different with different days off each week, making it extremely difficult to plan and form a healthy normal daily routine...ie: sleep, meals, exercise, family, chores/personal responsibilities. Pay raises are not sufficient in keeping with cost of living, raises are too meager. Most of management is useless, as is "store policy". Floor coverage during off peak hours is very lacking and they need to be more conscientious about the people they hire...most are lazy and irresponsible. It's the few good people that carry the load for everyone else. The newest extending hours open (in the Southeast region)...is rediculous...after 8:00 p.m. = no customers and no floor coverage...

Pros

They pay well for management. A starting asm will start around 42k year. An hourly associate will start from 8 and up. It is important to get as much as you can at the start.

Cons

Too political. You need to kiss your DM's rear to get anywhere. All support people outside of the store are afraid to lose there jobs. So they do not care if there is a issue or try to correct it. They do not look at all sides of an issue. Everything is a metric or a report. There are to many areas that are trying to be measured and too many people that are telling you what is important.
