Pros

It a great place to work if you blue collar type worker looking for a corporate feel. In this tough economy they are willing to give low educated hard workers a chance to make it big in a retail managerial platform.

Cons

Working hard will only get you so far. All highly educated individuals know working smart is how to make it in a capitalist society. This company is filled with the good ol boy mentality that won't let innovated management styles and communication penetrate to bring new life. You will have work many hard and long weekends and holiday seasons just to make it to "store manager". For some weird reason they are proud of that. No one should have to suffer and slave to prove themselves. ...and it doesn't matter if you have a degree. Since most of the store managers don't have one they surely aren't going to respect yours.

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

Pros

I love my team so much and we have some regular patients that are amazing.

Cons

Well I'm supposed to be full time but the last few weeks in feeling barely 30 hours a week. We have staff and no hours, customers are hateful. We're exhausted.
