Pros

Good people work here Employee discount is good Bonuses are decent

Cons

Directors and above only care about CYA. They make fake promises, thank publicly then dig into you for any little thing to make themselves look better. Highly competitive, but in a mean and putting others down kind of way. You cannot trust anyone you work with because they will take any opportunity to make you look bad. VPs are worse! They’re rude, only focus on themselves, and will only like you if you kiss their butt. There’s no respect for work life balance, expect you to be available day, night, weekends, anytime. They will lie and cheat to get results and if you’re not willing to do that then be prepared to be pushed out or get tough visits. Don’t expect any development or growth opportunities unless you’re willing to do whatever they ask for, ethical or otherwise. What you do is never good enough and they let you know that. They micromanage because they lack trust and are very insecure about their own lack of leadership. The list goes on and on. All the elements that make up a toxic work environment happen here and the company protects those toxic leaders up top. They advocate loss prevention to fire people even if they’re not trained because they only care about their stats.

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
