Pros

The pay is competitive, my coworkers have been great to work with, and most of the management team has been supportive and professional.

Cons

My main frustration has been with advancement opportunities. I have been with the company for two years and have applied for promotions multiple times at two different store locations. In one case, I even received a verbal offer for a position, but the final decision was later changed by the district manager in favor of another candidate.

Pros

So many amazing customers and co workers. Pay is good depending on your position.

Cons

Upper management. Store managers vary by store a lot are great some absolutely terrible. The decisions made have been absolutely terrible. Cutting hours pushing everyone even more. Hiring part timers and expecting them to work like full time associates after a month of 12 hour work weeks. Used to be a great place to work now despite the company insisting its the best place to work its garbage. In my district alone I know theres 11 leaders looking to leave.
