      Pros

      Great discount, fun product. Overall great employees that you work with. Good company values and employee first culture, it just gets watered down at the local store level. Casual dress code. Usually set hours for full time with some exceptions.

      Cons

      Since going public the company culture has really changed and is going down hill rapidly. It's much more numbers driven than it ever has been. Company doesn't have an HR dept to protect employee's so watch out if you don't "drink the Kool-aid". Not much room for advancement unless you are willing to play the politics game.

      Pros

      You will work with great people it is like a family atmosphere.

      Cons

      Never believe a word anyone says. They praise the lazy never the hard-worker. If you are African American I have noticed they are not treated very fairly. Excluded immediately from being supervisors or managers. It seems that they are only allowed to be trainers and most of the time end up training there future supervisors that makes no sense to me. I once loved this job before the company went public and everything changed. I once felt we were cared about as employees now i feel like they are doing everything in there power to create a hostile working place. Don't come and work at the DC. If you can work in a store or the corporate offices I heard those are great places to work. If you are African American you have no chance for advancement look for employment elsewhere.
