Pros

Pay is good. Other employees were helpful. Past managers were great. Rush rodeo is a definite must at least once.

Cons

Management has issues. Never wanting to be apart of the department. Would rather sit in the office and stare at a computer screen instead of being active in the department they are managing. Letting bad employees get away with anything they wanted. Showed favoritism to some employees. Corporate made changes for the worse. Ended up putting a bigger workload on the store employees and management at the store level didn't help with that. Employee appreciation wasn't there. Seems like all they want to care about is money. Unless you know someone don't plan on advancing much in this company.
