Pros

Stable company with long-time presence in Southern California. Small company feel, though there are over 2,000 employees. Pleasant store level staff, middle management and most senior managers. Well-regarded name in the area.

Cons

Have not opened any stores in 8+ years. Depending upon your position in the company, you may have some small potential for promotions, but they are rare outside of the stores.

Pros

Great place to work if your a student who needs flexible hours. They are very family oriented. During this recission, they are struggling with sales, since it is a upper class store, however, they have not announced any layoffs. Everybody is just geting their time reduced. Futhermore, if you work hard stay positive, provide excellent customer service you will be promoted. However, making it to upper management is tough, some store directors even take 10 years to be at where they are at right now.

Cons

The management does not listen to new ideas from employee's about making the company more profitable and offering differentiating from competition.
