Pros

Good Discount, good people in store

Cons

Leadership of the region and stores as a whole is a disgrace. hey are more interested in posting photo ops on LinkedIn and talking about what they want their public image to be, than actually doing any of it. Once you are exposed to the inner workings, you realize just how corrupt the leadership team is. From strong arming fake reviews here and asking people to post on social media, they are only concerned with convincing the owner they are doing good things. If the owners ever decided to take an honest look, they would be mortified at what their company has become. Our RD is cruel, demeaning, and unprofessional. It must the a prerequisite, since the RD in Region 1 is the same way.
