Pros

great benefits, great culture, room for growth, team work environment, trust, stability, vision,people who car about who you are and where your going, great for part time students with schedules that may be demanding,

Cons

long hours, management very demanding, no overtime allowed, working with the public can be difficulut at times, wish we had a longer lunch break only 30 minutes which dosen't give you much time to go home and grab something to eat, very repeative work which can make for very long days and night shifts are ususally very busy and understaffed, sometimes don't get a break if your overwhelmed with customers, would like better holiday bonuses and christmas party would be great.

Pros

Honestly, a few years ago I would have a list of reasons, today I can not think of any. Advancement opportunities have just about disappeared and with assistant manager positions on the way out, those few opportunities are quickly dwindling.

Cons

At first it was a very family oriented, not so much anymore. Their was a greater emphasis on and more value placed on associate contributions in the past, where as today, the focus is on sales and productivity. Get the job done or else...
