Pros

No pros in the management level

Cons

all these stores are massively understaffed. You’ll find yourself alone at the cash register not being able to do freight or any other tasks. Shoplifting rate is high. freight never gets put away and is on the floor all the time. Unrealistic goals district manager is unqualified to manage anything.
