Pros

Great health insurance for assistant and store manager. Company eats most of the cost when insurance goes up and doesn't pass it on to employees. Decent 401k matching. Pretty good Venus structure for full time management.

Cons

They hire upper management that has no idea what they are doing because of who they know or they were dazzled by a resume. No actual work is put in to make sure who they are hiring is a good fit. It's basically a serrority where you get by on who you know and that can change at the drop of a hat. There is a lot of immaturity due to this and the DM spends a lot of time doing things like buying cars and getting her nails done when she is supposed to be visiting stores. She will also just not show up for scheduled visits and not address it unless you contact her to see if she is still coming. This is a great place to work part time as a college kid but I wouldn't put my future into this company.
