Pros

Good Benifits for full time employees. Possible good changes in the future. I believe they are trying to improve their company.

Cons

Not enough employees to complete tasks. At times their is only one employee on duty. Its is impossible to complete all tasks with the payroll hours. Managers are required to work fourty nine hours per week but, to complete everything or try too you need to work sixty. Manager can only work six days per week so long before they look for other employment.

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.
