Pros

Good Benefits and Discount. Some good people, not all though.

Cons

Director and supervisor were horrendous. Lazy Lazy Lazy. Leads and employees given all their responsibilities. No direction and support. Supervisor and Director caught arguing in front of employees. Director fake as heck, arrogant attitude as he is untouchable. Supervisor can’t be found and lies through her teeth and yells at people. Many complaints to hr but director in good with them, so don’t go to hr to hr to complain you may become a target. We’ve personally seen it.

Pros

Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

Cons

The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
