Pros

the staff are all wonderful

Cons

corporate and our dm are out of touch with what goes on in the store. we are required to hit goals that are out of touch with where retail is. we have product that is inferior and continuously gets returned and the store is penalized for the return. then our review comes and we get a poor review because our numbers and engagement (which is a ridiculous barometer) is not where they want it to be.
