Pros

Was a top notch retailer, leading the industry for many decades

Cons

Little supervision at store level below mgmt. Stores rundown and dirty with no desire by corporate to improve. Too many holes on shelves, so lost revenue and lost customers. Embarrassing to have been associated with company for last 10 years.

Pros

will work around any schedule (school, second job, or personal reasons).

Cons

Absolutely no raises, large amount of work to complete with little to no help, never enough employees scheduled, constantly having to hear about not having enough help yet employees do not receive any hours because the company does not want to schedule breaks. Way too many family members working at the store and all get away with almost anything and refuse to pull their weight because of it.
