Pros

40% discount. Wonderful people to work with in stores. Great atmosphere when manager is in a good mood.

Cons

DM spends too much time micromanaging. Schedule will be rearranged with no notice. Upper management clearly doesn't trust sales associate or leads. DM always negative which trickled down through management to associates.
