Pros

Ok Pay and Training...Managers paid by the hour and must work overtime

Cons

Weird hours 3, 12+ hour shifts then open the store on forth day before you get a day off....Every other weekend off is the only time you get two days off in a row...Every manager works the same shift as ordered by the corporate head quarters....Must relocate to advance in the company and no reinbursment for moving....Great job if you are single and don't mind staying single.....Not many talented managers because they promote most of the stock people to management....More about how many years you have in the company than how you produce....If you do a great job, higher levels of management want to keep you where you are at.....Did I mention you stock product most of the shift....Annual training meetings in WI are about 24 hours including 2 plane rides....feel like a run of cattle...

Pros

Good pay. Most coworkers are excellent to work with.

Cons

Scheduling is horrible. Work til 10 pm and have to be back in at 6 am. Store management plays favorites and talks smack about non favorites and Promotes accordingly Doesnt recognize Team memebers for jobs well done. Belittling. Unprofessional.
