Pros

Many different departments, locations, and career paths ...corporate offices are mostly local still which increases opportunity. Fantastic health insurance.

Cons

Store-As with most retail the store schedule comes first and the employees personal life is irrelevant. This is understandable from time to time...but depending on your department, your supervisor and they type of job you have it's crazy. The amount of work being put on store management is out of control. At the Main Office the different departments don't speak to each other and there there is a giant gulf between them as well as between the office and the store.

Pros

Job can be fun and interesting Always something new to learn Lots of personal fulfillment as a manager when things go right

Cons

Unsupportive upper management Toxic work culture, unpaid overtime is rewarded and even expected or forced, even to the tune of multiple weeks in a row with no days off when you are salaried. They claim to support work life balance but even the smallest effort to set boundaries is heavily punished. Not paid as much as we should be for everything we have to do and deal with
