Pros

We get a 20% discount that stacks.

Cons

favoritism, promotions from outside the company rather than from inside the store. hired on being promised a certain amount but then receiving a lower offer letter. Having to beg and plead for my performance review, then for it to never be done. Management has fully turned over twice in a store that only opened a year ago.
