Pros

Pay day is every 2 weeks.

Cons

Read what Wall Street is saying it is very true. There is a publically posted closure list. This company is struggling. Upper management is grasping at straws to keep this thing afloat. Lots of new iniatives that produce minimum result$. Most of it is job justification for a lot of long term employees that are desperate to hang on to their jobs. The hiring process for managers is long and drawn out. You must read closely what they are offering you. Look out for words like "pro rated, and adjusted". With store closures the only people that are dismissed are hourly and the management is dispersed to other stores. Advancement for new people is limited.
