Pros

Not a bad place to work if you are an uneducated hillbilly. If your only other previous adult work experience is working at a fast food restaurant you have a very good chance of moving to Nashville and running the IT department.

Cons

The entire organization is run by uneducated hillbillies who lack both a fundamental understanding of how to lead a team as well as what their team is supposed to be doing in the first place. It seems like the dumber you are the more arrogant you act. I'm not sure if it's to compensate for the lack of intelligence or to compensate for another certain shortcoming. In either case, this has been the most absurd place I have ever worked.

Pros

If you get in the right store with the right manager and the right district manager who cares about you as much is your numbers. Your lucky. Training based for purely performance driven selling skills. Promotions are if easy if you hit your credit card and tired directives monthly. Hi caliber talent to be store manager in less than a year expect three to five years of store manager if you want to get into senior management. The political landscape is a good ole boys club from the store up.

Cons

They like to run a skeleton crew no more than 3 sales teammates per store which means you're usually working by yourself with another teammate any given day. Expect to work every holiday and weekend. Noobs get every Sunday especially with a store manager who probably doesn't want to work Sundays but has to work every Saturday. Your only as good as your last operating statement. Management picks at every overtime hour missed breaks get you threatened with a write you up or termination. Management will not provide you extra crew will always swear they can do it better than you but most haven't done a thing and if they ever did it was a long time ago.
