Pros

There are plenty of stores. Most managers are friendly and eager to help new employees. Good or decent work hours. They do give pay raises quite often, but usually only $0.30 to a $1.00 at a time if lucky.

Cons

Once in management your salaried and you don't get overtime, and you usually work 10 to 20 hours overtime every week unless you have a great team,

Pros

The vendors were great to make connections with, made the day fun.

Cons

It's a revolving door, upper regional management has such unrealistic expectations, no communications with the warehouse, they run EVERY store manager into the ground because they dont give them enough hours to staff the store.
