      Pros

      Work with some really bright, incredibly hard working people.

      Cons

      Micromanagement veiled as Communication is leadership. Pay raises are minimal. Little time off especially holidays. Expect you to work and answer emails on vacation. Overtime constantly expected. Leadership dictates every detail with little interaction. Never see higher level management unless a special event.

      Pros

      Amazing training, positive & energetic co-workers/management, hourly wage, great discount!!

      Cons

      Before being able to work a "normal" shift, you must work to unload all the merchandise at 5:00 am. They are extremely anal retentive and require employees to be the same...but that is why the store always looks so great! The hourly wage is very good for a retail position, but certainly not enough to live off of.

      Pros

      Great fellow employees who were fun to work with, everyone works well together. Strong level of training for all employees. General Manager supports staff.

      Cons

      Limited room for growth. Strong history of promoting less qualified individuals over more qualified ones. A great deal of micro-managing of style of management. District manager with limited business background does little to grow business and promote staff.
