Pros

Fun casual place to work. They actually offer a good amount of discounts on all types of things through my benefits. Easy to move up... to a fault.

Cons

They do not promote to executive management from within. I've heard mutters of 80% of their new executives they like to be recent college grads and that explains why are executives are always at career fairs when they have a big pool of college educated hourly management in the store. It can also be very political. The pay is not very good for someone in hourly management or a team member. I think they need to take a page from Costco, Hobby Lobby, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's especially when everybody in the store knows what the Executive Team Leaders are Making.
