Pros

it's close to my home.

Cons

no employee discounts! only 6 days of holidays for the year (most companies have 11). no sick time. the HQ is poorly planned, poorly maintained (carpet repaired with duct tape), and even the signs for the exit point the wrong way in the parking deck. outdated IT systems (when i started in 2005, the software loaded on the computer was office 97!). boys club vibe from the top all the way down. on top of all this, employees were encouraged & expected to participate in a corporate cheer at meetings to show company loyalty.

Pros

Good Benefits, especially if you and family need them and can't afford the outrageous cost of private health insurance. Management is usually lack as far as time off is concerned. In this economic situation, if you want to take the rest of the week, you are a hero, They need to slash hours and people are really upset and morale is at a point that I have never witnessed. When the store was first opened, we all had bright smiles and looked forward to helping customers but now, it is a hassle to go to the bathroom. On the way we get stopped every 15 feet by everyone, because there are no employees working.

Cons

If you are not from a click, say from another store groupie, you are basically an outsider.
