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.

Pros

Great pay and part time employees

Cons

Management, overworked and all of their foundation principles they promote are not true. Desperately needs an HR department since managers have no clue what they are doing. Someday they will be sued so hope the shareholders are reading these reviews.

Great company to work for, but ...

Pros

Very flexible hours, great co-workers, nice customer base ... great employee discount.

Cons

If you are a part timer ("prime timer"), you are a part timer -- pretty much for good. There is very little chance you will ever make it to full time or management unless all the folks currently in those positions magically move on .... Full time openings in the store are often filled by transfer of full timers from other stores.
