Pros

75% of customers are easy to deal with. Store managers are typically flexible on scheduling. Decent paying job for college students and usually doesn't require weekend work.

Cons

Inadequate pay. Selfish, micromanaging upper management. Crooked upper management. Company has no idea what direction it is going. They send out daily emails contradicting the previous days message. Outrageous growth expectations with inadequate tools to achieve these goals. Warehouse charges store for ordering too much bulk product, which causes your pay to go down. What other company charges you for selling to much product? Upper management is full of bullies, with the biggest bully being Lee Hein(president). Don't waste your time with this company.

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
