Pros

I really like my co-workers. I like management at the store level.

Cons

The pay plan is atrocious. They gerrymander the cars with adds and pack to the point of theft from their sales staff. Always seems to be a new rule or regulation that allows them to avoid paying a commission or bonus. Seem to be more interested in having 20 chumps making minimum wage on the sales floor, as opposed to paying some real pros. Feels like a glass ceiling is being placed on our income.

Pros

They offer employee stock benefits.

Cons

The workplace culture has deteriorated significantly over the past few years. What was once an organization employees were proud to be part of has become an environment where morale is consistently low and many employees feel disengaged and dissatisfied. The changes in leadership and culture have had a noticeable negative impact on the overall employee experience. Based on my experience, I would encourage prospective employees to avoid at all cost.
