Pros

There's a lot of growth potential in this company.

Cons

This is a field where you start from the bottom 99% of the time. That means a lot of physical labor, hard work, and long retail hours. There's nothing wrong with working hard but a lot of people are surprised at how much is involved in this job. Also, this company stresses diversity but the field is predominantly white males. Very rarely are there minorities or women. They are trying their hardest to make it as diversified as possible, though.

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
