Pros

- Most of the clients/customers are pleasant. - Incredible, generous employee discount. - Fun atmosphere to work in.

Cons

- Being treated with hostility for taking a sick day despite having a doctor's note in hand. - No incentive or rewards for a job well done. - Being talked down to from management, is the norm. - Clueless managers who know less about the brand than most customers... - No promoting from within, despite the company claiming otherwise. - Requesting a day off for family events or doctor appointments is met with overly invasive questions, hostility and attitude (nevermind that the managers take all the days off they want for their own lives). - Managers follow an unwritten but strict "do as I say, not as I do" policy about everything from bathroom use to days off -- and everything in between. - Personal friends of management are hired then promoted, regardless of experience or credentials (or lack thereof).
