Pros

Unremarkable - Getting out of the house? Not being on welfare? This job helps you learn to manage money well?

Cons

This has to be the only place you can get a promotion, be put on salary, and make less (they move employees to salary to avoid overtime laws) - The GM of our store was physcially assaulted he is such a great guy (by a former employee) Employees cannot figure out what their leave is and they are charged for medical benefits that are useless. I had a family member that worked there and she was terminated because she had a resume out. The place is run like a democracy, what a bunch of pigs!

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
