Pros

A lot of great people work there. Everyone is bound by a sense of doing what you have to do to pay the bills. There is a strange community that you become part of over time.

Cons

The company doesn't care about it's employees. At the end of the day, even the store managers are crapped on by corporate level management. There are worthless benefits offered by the company unless you're upper management. They might as well not offer anything.
