Pros

* Average pay and benefits * Team work is encouraged * Bonus incentives for Store Managers and higher

Cons

* Ridiculous amount of hours. Most Store Managers work a minimum of 50 hours per week, unless they are one the managers that just don't care about their job or their company * Hard to have a family life when employed by this company * A never-ending task list each day/week/month/etc. You are constantly in a state of being behind

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.
