Pros

Wonderful staff and Manager and Asst. Mgr. Decent discount.

Cons

Negative environment created by micro managing from Corporate. They don't seem to recognize that their success is based on the employees. Credit is not given where it is due. Trusting the maturity of the employees is not an option. The pay is less that adequate
