Pros

Easy job, small employee incentives, room for growth, competitive salary, friendly managers and staff at store level, company growth and expansion

Cons

Dress code for management is too particular, union staff makes actual "management" useless, they want to control how you style your hair and will spot check your shoes to make sure they are continually perfect and freshly shined (no joke), far too extensive training and testing before you can even get into a store

October-January the workload and store environment is overwhelming due to holidays Slowest time of year in the store is during the summer when its hot and days drag ob forever Lack of communication between dept as well as between store management MOD adds insurmountable tasks onto your already lengthy expected daily task assignments
