Pros

99% of the people that I worked with were wonderful co-workers in this location.

Cons

The store manager is very difficult to work with and makes the lives of nearly every co-worker miserable. Walk in the door of the building and you could feel the dreadful atmosphere hanging over the place. The headquarters in PA turn a blind eye and make excuses for this manager who has been with the company for over 20 years yet I have heard stories and been witness to many, many situations that would have had him fired at any other company. This person has literally done things that were so close to illegal.....I'm not sure they weren't illegal but I do know things he said were so offensive it was inhuman.
