Pros

Great merchandise for a good price. Good pay for managers.

Cons

Treated terrible and unfairly by DM's and upper management. High turnover and they fire entire all the managers in a district when a new person is promoted to DM and they clean house of everyone they just don't like--it is run like a college sorority! If you are in the current clique or are the DM's 'Pet' your career is made until they leave the company then your life will be hell.
