Pros

work-life balance, the work out area is small but Ok, Charity work- but that is more on the Employees then the company

Cons

Review process is horrible, Managers are Rude Intrusive Unprofessional and play favorites they walk right by you and won't say hello and will do what it takes to alienate you if you don't follow their beliefs, you will be targeted and they will lie and overblow any issue to mark a review as negative. Human recourses will stand back and turn a blind eye to all this. The top six ( CEO on Down) are always creating new titles to announce themselves as promoted, The other Negative reviews I have read speak volumes about this Company they get you in the door with smiles and thoughts of a great long term future, then after 2-4 years they start to treat you badly knowing that more then likely you are not going to leave and start your career over. Company has many issues and sweep of current Management and leaders needs to happen! They push for a Premier Place to work but that will never happen with the leadership they have now!!! They send out (anonymous?) surveys asking for ratings on how good it is to work here, Employees are not going to be honest for fear of their job. Even though the walls are caving in around them Human Recourses can say well our survey shows we are doing a great job keeping employees happy.

Pros

Ability to advance is there.

Cons

Commonly interview for locations close to home and upon background check and hire, the company makes a habit to put you in a different location further and less convenient. Was hired for one position and put into the system as a much lesser position without explanation for two months. This bait and switch tactic happened with numerous other hires. Was not paid accurately for overtime worked. Was not given access to system to verify hours worked for two months. Worked at several locations and at each people were forced to work off of the clock by management due to under-staffing or direct instruction. Hostile work atmosphere and discrimination were allowed for over a decade at one location as were several wrongful terminations that culminated in at least one very successful large lawsuit -- yet manager was kept in place. Favoritism. You will be lied to about spiff, bonus and overtime structure and pay during interview -- in my experience I was being paid 2k less than what I was told to expect per month. H.R. intentionally avoided complaints and didn't resolve matters. Several people made reports and H.R. didn't even speak with these employees before closing the complaint and said employees were wrongfully terminated shortly after. Retaliation both at corporate and store level for reporting any illegal or inappropriate workplace conduct. Extremely litigious environment.
