      Pros

      Pay can be decent for Management. Headquartered locally so is possible to get to know top management.

      Cons

      All hiring is done by HR without regard to which stores are hurting most and trying to recruit a staff for themselves, employees are sent to whichever store HR decides to send them to regardless. No support system in place among Management for issues or problems, you are pretty much on your own. Corporate Management needs to stop having so many meetings about every little thing and idea and focus on getting out of their comfort zones and directly working the stores and see what the real issues are instead of preaching. You stress to lead by example, well then get out there and do it!!!

      Overworked and underpaid

      Pros

      My coworkers at the store level are kind and caring people, and we help take care of each other because the company surely won’t.

      Cons

      Low pay (most employees receive EBT and are well below the poverty line), micro-management to the point of implementing tablets that require us to take pictures of menial daily tasks, 9-10 hour work days without a break, health insurance offered is incredibly expensive, upper management and owner waste money on things like golf tournaments “for charity” (tax write off) and private planes while the workers try to scrape by on just above minimum wage (still paid well below a living wage), understaffed because of poor pay and high expectations, no holidays off (unless you’re management and above), they offer emergency financial help (that is funded by the underpaid employees), etc

      Pros

      There are no pros to working for this company. They treat you like nothing. They care nothing for or about you.

      Cons

      They don't care about their employees. The district manager literally said we were expendable. Don't work there. They don't pay anything and they don't care anything about you.
