Pros

Benefits and stock program. People in stores work very hard with little appreciation and when they get a corporate visit are always nervous many times because they care so much.

Cons

Micro management and lack of people centric atmosphere Richmond VA locations are out of control and the DM turn over directly correlates but no one will acknowledge the real issue. The leaders.
