Pros

Pay was decent. Offered health, dental and insurance. Discount on food and games. Extra long hours supporting their locations due to low corporate staff.

Cons

Where does one start. Corporate office was in complete disarray. Leadership didn't know how to lead and were indecisive. Obviously had a payroll system glitch since I was paid well after leaving the company and was even issued a w2 after it was allegedly resolved. 3 CFO's in 2 years in addition to 2 different CIO's 2 development executives, 2 marketing executives and 2 HR executives. Not to mention the countless other staff that have left. The only person to stay in all of this blunder is the CEO. Again the leadership is bad from top to bottom. Their idea is to build more locations to generate more revenue to offset high costs on employee turnover and operating expenses. Obviously the leadership have never studied on what happened to Circuit City. They have a decent concept but it's very poorly executed.

Pros

Small company with many large company benefits...good vision for company....lots of great ideas...value leader.

Cons

Not very decisive....doing away with current position in a very unprofessional manner. Lots of projected growth, but takes forever for corporate office to make decisions. Many snap decisions made without research or facts. Runs labor to tight to take care of guest expectations. Over sells and under delivers on guest experience. Good vision for company...badley executed
