Pros

Solid company with pretty standard Retail operations. If you're interested in a career in Corporate Retail environment and want to learn the ropes of various Merchandising operations, this company is a good start.

Cons

Compensation very low and limited initiative exists to train internal employees to advance within the company. Essentially not much promotions or development opportunity, especially for people at the bottom of the latter (entry level positions).

Pros

You have an opportunity to create good good relationships with your customers.

Cons

There is no work life balance. If you’re a store manager you’re expected to be there 24/7 if necessary. You’re also salary, so you’re paid for a flat 40 hours but required to schedule yourself for a minimum of 48 hours. No holiday pay, no overtime. You have access to two types of bonuses but they’re IF you qualify for them. You get little to no support from upper management and constantly told you’re not doing enough. They don’t care if you’re having staffing issues and still expect you to get the truck completely worked in 2 days and the store to be 100% recovered daily, even if you’re alone. Then they’ll either look for ways to write you up to terminate you or push you until you quit.
