Pros

Clear idea of job duties, diverse coworkers. Not much else to say.

Cons

Very bad and abusive management, poor training, hard to receive benefits, poor scheduling. GM was intimidating, making it difficult to discuss issues or concerns and even ask simple questions. Discounts were too low. Constant pressure to sell credit cards with little to no incentive. Assistant managers always on cell phones during work hours. Too strict on voids as well.

Pros

My coworkers and a steady wpaycheck. And meeting some great people. The discount is nice.

Cons

This company likes to put all the work on its associates. Anything that’s grunt work or where you have to get your hands dirty. All they care about are pushing out those credit cards. I’ve seen some of the best employees quit because they’re burnt out and don’t get scheduled any hours. I don’t blame them. I’m looking for another job as I type this. My body hurts and I’m being abused physically and taken advantage of.
