Pros

The pay & benefits aren't bad for retail, staff becomes like family when/if you find the "right" people...hard workers who dont stand around doing nothing. Great customers that become regulars & you look forward to them coming in. They can turn a bad day into a good one quickly!

Cons

Too much to do & not enough time in a day! Extremely heavy workload even for the best staff. No work/life balance for SM's. You WILL be in your store 60-80 hrs/wk. You WILL work regular hrs on all holidays, the only day we close is Christmas.

Pros

There are no pros for working for this company. The store manager promotes Key holders within 2 wks of being hired. So theres no training and she rehires employee whom she has fired for theft. If your not kin too her in some way, you wont be there long. In the 7 mos ive been there we have around 10 or more employees come and go.

Cons

The pay is low and the hours that schedule you for isnt enough to live on. Thats why there is a revolving door. If your not kin to store manager you get no perks.
