Pros

Since the Malir family stepped back and Frank died, this company has lost all positives.

Cons

86 culture! If you're a GM, don't ruin your career working here. I have witnessed the company break its own policies to fire salaried managers. Teammates are given area manager contact information and encouraged to report day-to-day happenings. Managers can and are termed if teammates complain or gossip without cause. The lack of ethics and integrity is concerning. Cheating inventory is common and reporting it can get you fired. C-level annual visits are planned dog & pony shows so no one actually knows what is happening.

Pros

Staff and Customers were both great.

Cons

Hard physically demanding work environment. While they take care of the hourly employees and customers, salaried managers get run into the ground.
