Pros

Very laid back atmosphere, creativity and individuality is encouraged, and even helps you improve your sales techniques. Great discount as well, especially if you make star of the month! You also get free gear if you stick around long enough.

Cons

Mobility and progress within the company is extremely delayed, if you want a promotion you have to be prepared to wait months for all the ducks to line up. The laid back atmosphere can get a little too laid back, some things that shouldn't slide do, especially within the management team.

Claims to care about employees, but really only cares about their shareholders.

Business Outlook

Pros

Employee Discount, good job if you're a sales associate looking for just part time work while in school. Not much else.

Cons

Extreme work load for Supervisors with minimal payroll and hours. They overload their bigger volume stores with shipment and expect everything to get processed daily on top of keeping the stores visuals perfect and sales up, all at the same time. All of this on only 2 part coverage most of the time too mind you. All of that, on top of their expectation to keep up with their ever changing standards, it's ridiculous.
