Pros

This company is one of the few that is actually growing in this economic environment. Plenty of new stores being added.

Cons

Store managers schedule is for 6 days a week, all year round, not just during peak seasons. Payroll for staffing is too thin, way too many hours that the manager has to work alone in order to make payroll. Necessary tasks can not be completed with the hours given, so the manager has to work even more hours (60 hours minimum, closer to 70 is possible).

Pros

There are no pros for working for this company. The store manager promotes Key holders within 2 wks of being hired. So theres no training and she rehires employee whom she has fired for theft. If your not kin too her in some way, you wont be there long. In the 7 mos ive been there we have around 10 or more employees come and go.

Cons

The pay is low and the hours that schedule you for isnt enough to live on. Thats why there is a revolving door. If your not kin to store manager you get no perks.
