Pros

There are none.... and considering I have always been a "glass half-full person", this is really sad. If my overall rating could be zero stars, that's what I would have chosen.

Cons

The company is completely unorganized, they have no idea how to set their stores up for success or provide the necessary help that stores need in order to improve their day to day business. Corporate sets unrealistic expectations and implements too many company directives that are supposed to "help drive business" within the stores. Rather than driving business, these promotions do nothing but confuse the customer and make them angry when something isn't ringing up correctly. Constantly threatened by management to either bring up sales or lose your job, which makes it extremely difficult to stay motivated and motivate sales associates to do their job. Complete joke of a company. Wouldn't recommend this company to anyone, and these are just some of the reasons why this company has such a high turnover rate. Considering this company recently let go of their ENTIRE regional hubs, it's not exactly packed full of career opportunities. With upper management constantly worried about whether or not they will have a job, top talent will avoid this company at all costs.
