      Pros

      Lots of chances to move up. There is a lot of positive change going on here! No more "well that's the way we've always done it".

      Cons

      Always growing pains. Some patience is required as the company struggles to accommodate the growing amount of employees, and weed out the energy vampires.

      Pros

      Discount. Working with other employees who don't slack off. If you get lucky and get your name drawn from a monthly employee compliments customer box and winning a gift card of $15 value (not sure if all stores did that). If you're full time the health benefits are good. Requesting time off within 2 weeks and you'll most likely get it unless it's some Holiday. Getting free meals in the employee break room on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sometimes on rare occasion an employee would bring a nice home baked meal or dessert for everyone to enjoy. If you enjoy the outdoors it is a fun place to work.

      Cons

      After working there for 5 years the discount went from 25% to 20%. Also I only got a 25 cent raise in 5+ years and I a hard worker. As always there is favoritism with the managers. Kiss butt and play nice if you want to be good with them. Not being able to move up in the company. The drama that some employees like to gossip about. Just don't expect to move up much or much hourly pay at that.
