Pros

Opportunity for advancement is there if you work. if you're in a good area the regulars customers are great. Good employee incentives ie: coupons, discounts.

Cons

They pay barely over minimum wage so finding good employees is hard. Cutting payroll towards the end of the quarter makes it nearly impossible to run a thriving store. Too much emphasis on the MAG and not on individual store needs.

Pros

There are no pros for working for this company. The store manager promotes Key holders within 2 wks of being hired. So theres no training and she rehires employee whom she has fired for theft. If your not kin too her in some way, you wont be there long. In the 7 mos ive been there we have around 10 or more employees come and go.

Cons

The pay is low and the hours that schedule you for isnt enough to live on. Thats why there is a revolving door. If your not kin to store manager you get no perks.
