Pros

Most of the staff are hard working people with great knowledge and experience. If you have been there long enough the pay is descent

Cons

Company is changing away from their culture no matter what they say. This store is highly dysfunctional with most managers not really fitting the profile of a manager. The best people are all talking about leaving because of the pay freeze and lack of opportunity.

Pros

You will be surrounded in the trenches by talented people who also give their all.

Cons

Your wages will be frozen. Your 401k match won't exist. All this in celebration of a successful 2015! Your CEO will step down, but don't worry--the same inner circle will run things just as they always have, destroying hundreds of millions of dollars invested by shareholders on good faith. Let's not forget--the IPO didn't invest in the company's future, they cashed your money out as a dividend! Then sent the stock to one-fifth the initial retail investor price and left employees with IPO stock badly upside down. Kip, that's worth retiring over in satisfaction!
