Pros

Wages and benefits over the years are very good. If you put in your time and make an effort to improve yourself, you will be rewarded. Employees who are conscientious and motivated will quickly move up in the ranks at the stores. The office atmosphere is professional and demanding. Customer service is a #1 push. If you can't be friendly and helpful with customers, don't bother to apply. This is still one of a very few local companies where you can expect to have a long career in several departments if you do good work on a consistent basis.

Cons

It can be somewhat of an insiders game. It helps a lot if the boss "likes" you. Promotions are a done deal many times even before a position is posted for interviews. You will most likely be hired only as a part-timer. A full-time job may be offered to you if you show that you have potential.

Pros

Fun Job. Time flies when working. Learn new skills.

Cons

Management does NOT care about you only the work you do. You will be overworked and underpaid. Very little training and they expect you to know everything within a couple weeks. Managers are lazy and will put their work on you! Work place is full of drama and creepy people that HR looks the other way because of 'popularity'. This is not the only location with problems the whole company is a mess. Constantly switching out district managers. Ops were horrible, they would come boss everyone around to try to make the shop look perfect in 1 shift, often making a lot of people miss their breaks and work overtime. Frozen loads and products would go to waste due to miscommunication between managers and no one seemed to ever want to fix any problems. Extremely low morale and high turnover. Stay far away from this place unless you're really sure you're only staying a while.
