      Pros

      Great people to work with, scheduled for max 40 hours each week unlike many other retailers, quality products at good prices

      Cons

      New scheduling system eliminates what was our one weekend day off and creates a random schedule that makes planning impossible. Talk of "no layoffs" doesn't match actions - people are being let go who would not have been if the economy was OK, so the company may not be calling that a layoff, but it is a reduction in staffing levels based on the economy, which sounds like one to me.

      Pros

      Pay is higher than other retailers The customers are fun to work with and the products are of good or better quality.

      Cons

      Loss of benefits has caused a hardship providing for family. New scheduling system leaves no family time. Some weeks dinner with the family is only possible on days off.

      Pros

      Pros are hourly wage, and wonderful customers...lots of great people work here...but that is changing too. Today I was speechless to find out that one of the really great employees left our company. She was there 9 or 10 years and was one of those really great sales people. She welcomed me to the company when I joined. Our customers loved her and she had a way about training and selling in a welcoming way. She was one of my biggest Pros. I feel sad as the Pros keep walking out the door. The once contagious air of excitement is turning into the air of no one cares anymore.

      Cons

      We keep losing all the great ones. One by one they seem to walk out the door after they can't take anymore of phonyville, USA. The cons are all together outweighing the pros. Every week I get my paycheck I wonder if it is still worth it. Lack of energy, excitement and fun that used to exist here is gone. Managers at our store are incredibly gifted with spin. They put a spin on anything unpleasant and try to leave you thinking whatever they want you to think. Interesting that they hire smart people and then try to get you to let them think for you..
