Pros

This is a fast paced, growing company. Many of the original family founders still have a heavy hand in the business.

Cons

- Illegal break policy (employees are not allotted the appropriate rest/meal breaks based on hours worked) - Scheduling expectations (schedules change last minute) - Work/life balance (beware, salaried managers are expected to work a minimum of 45 hours, sometimes up to 6 days a week at 54 hours without additional compensation.) - Lack of structure (many procedures are still being constructed) - High turnover at all levels (it is not uncommon for individuals from sales associates to district managers to be terminated without notice) - Retaliation (HR is a double edged sword. Corporate representatives take political action against associates who file complaints, most who do shortly disappear after a paper trail of corrective actions materializes.) - Culture (hostile work environment where some employees are used as informants and are asked to collect and report negative information about others.)

Pros

Nice management, convenient, simple job

Cons

Needed access to a car which was not mentioned in the interview, co-workers were rude and made up lies to management, pressure to sell, as a person of color I felt targeted by some of the co-workers, was the only person of color working at my location.
