Pros

they provide lunch, nice stores and above average pay.

Cons

You are expected to be a whipping dog for your first 3-5 years. You get cussed at and made to feel like you are nothing but a number. The owner is very two faced. He will give you great pay and other things that other companies will not. Just expect not to have any free time, to be called out for any mistake in front of everyone else in the company, be called names and be bullied by the owner and other people that has been there longer than you. It feels like you have to give up your life for the better pay and you also have to ready to live in constant fear that you may walk in and find that you do not have a job for no reason other than the owner was in a bad mood and you did something that pissed him off. Right to hire, right to fire.

Pros

You have an opportunity to learn from a mastermind of sales and knowing the customer. Likewise, as long as you haul the company line, you can rise.

Cons

There are, unfortunately, a ton of them. First among them is the autocracy by the CEO, Mattress Mack. Success, with some luck, has helped him mentally forge a feeling that he can do no wrong and it is his way or the highway. Opinions are not listened to, unfortunately - unless they are those of family. To wit, some family members once recommended that the manager of the monkeys may be better suited to being the marketing director, even though the monkey man manager had no real-world marketing experience which then led to a changeover. Likewise, a warehouse manager had left and came back to work, and trumped the fellow who was the harder working and most deserving when he came back as if nothing happened. These sorts of things were common place. Likewise, the advertising agency has been using the sales staff's ideas and passing it off as their own and then billing the company horrendously throughout the duration, all to the CEO not knowing. So, while there is a highly level of autocratic micromanagement, there is an unfortunate amount of backstabbing and manipulation that creates an air of deceit.

Money isn't worth it

Pros

High wages, free food on site

Cons

No work/life balance. Expected to work 55 plus per week. Mattress Mack throws things, yells at employees, terminates at random. My way or the highway is Mack's management style. There is no structure below Mack; the company will likely collapse when he dies. The money is great, but it's not worth having to put up with being demeaned, or hearing others be demeaned, on a daily basis.
