Pros

Friendly environment and management. Somewhat flexible. Steady company constantly growing. Promotions happen from within at least till it was bought out.

Cons

Low salaries. Limit experience to retail space if you are looking for other industries. Office space does not encourage collaboration. Also, sharing cafeteria with warehouse employees.

Pros

The concept is easy to stand behind and the stores are well known in the area. You will see you product out in the world everyday.

Cons

Certain departments are run by individuals with dated technical knowledge of specific functions. The environment is not conducive to change or improvement. Lower level management can be bullying.
