Pros

Trying to develop teams to grow. Giving people a chance to shine in their roles. A lot of these folks live in poverty so development can assist life changes to better themselves to move onto another employer.

Cons

To much work for the store level staff to please upper management.The Store Manager gets all the wage an still is below what other companies pay. The other staff get crumbs and are not motivated in a lot of cases to grow because it is not really possible.

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.
