Pros

Great stock- free after one year. Flexible but work longs hours if someone calls in. Great bonuses every three months after one year of employment. Christmas Bonus check every year. Great people to work with except managers. Upper lever management will come visit stores and have open door policy, but no one is dare to talk. Good money at management level, but no work life balance. No college degree required to move up.

Cons

Favoritism a lot. Everyone has their clicks just like high school. A lot of gossip in stores. Don't be late or call in too much will get suspended and then fired. Part-timers allowed only 32-35 no more. Customers are treated royalty and if you get a customer complaint your hours will be cut and a disciplinary action will be written. There is no team work just getting the job done. Evaluations is not fair, Just point system to make you satisfactory even if you work hard and is the ideal worker. Have to get interview for a promotion and have to take a test and wait. Promote from within. Management moves around alot. Favoritism to move up.
