Pros

Great opportunity to work with the public.

Cons

Hard work with ridiculously small payroll budgets. Staffing guidelines not enough to properly run stores. Cut throat senior management that cares nothing about employees. No matter how hard you work or how much you accomplish it is never enough. Can terminate for any reason even if the reports show conflicting data. Everyone is always setup for failure even if they say otherwise. Worked for company for 8 years and terminated for bogus reasons. Data presented during termination conflicts with all reports. Systems slow and outdated making hard to perform job effectively. However, still not excuse for failure to complete projects timely.

Pros

NONE THAT I CAN THINK OF....

Cons

Entire company's sole purpose is to build new stores. The employees are overworked and underpaid. Leadership is shady at best. They will lie to you about growth potential just to keep you. I would not recommend this company to anyone. HR is absolutely disconnected and leadership in the field is WEAK and changes yearly, so you are basically starting over EVERY TIME....
