Pros

It's easy to advance in the company if you prove to be reliable and hardworking. Flexible schedule for employees that AREN'T store managers. I feel as though the pay is fair.

Cons

Hard to balance life and work because of the required 6 days a week. The biggest problem is that you're given hardly any hours for the schedule, just enough to barely cover breaks. Not enough to have someone on the sales floor, stocking, and on registers simultaneously. So how are we supposed to complete and follow the 7 day workflow they enforce when we aren't given enough hours for the store to succeed? I repeatedly felt as though I was set up for failure instead of success.

Pros

The company offers very fair pay, opportunities to be involved in the community, standard two weeks vacation (more depending on tenure), and a very nice year end bonus if the company hits their target financial results.

Cons

None so far. Personally, I have been working in a corporate environment the last 5 years and even though there are cubes as far as the eye can see and some don't like the cube life, it is a very pleasant place to work so far.
