Pros

They give stuff away, and with the discount, you get stuff practically for free

Cons

Corporate constantly changed creative directiom, which caused me to constantly change things around. There was total confusion about the direction of the company and lack of communication. This effected the store management, store employees, and customers. We constantly had customers coming in asking where everything was because everything changed every day. New initiatives kept on forming and an ad-hoc way that caused even more confusion and frustration for everyone. Towards the end I had a break down at least once a week from just exhaustion and confusion, as my job as Visual Specialist constantly required heavy lifting and moving, it was chaos.
