Pros

Amazing benefits!!!! I cannot stress that enough! under $40 per month for an entire family to get 85% paid PPO/dental/vision! ESOP (employee stock ownership) is amazing! it's free money! Room to advance if you are hard working, I know, I did! - Pay is also very good, in the portland market you top off at 17.75 (full time) part time (which is what most people are) is 13.50 or so. Pay increases are automatic, every 1040 hours you receive at least a .50 cent or so increase.

Cons

In my just under 5 years working at two stores I saw a lot of corporatism being implemented. I can say it definitely was and is not the company that originally hired me... Over corporatism creating too many high level high paying positions while benefits are being reduced (no more bonuses to the average employees etc) Bonuses to store management extremely disproportion to department managers. ESOP Value grows less every year if it grows at all! our last statement the esop value did not grow at all!

Pros

Great coworkers and managers. The products are great and I loved that I was able to offer great customer service. Moving up and around in the company is easy, positions are always opening up because the company continues to expand. They also have an employee share program

Cons

The hours can be sketchy, depending on the department you're in. Some weeks can be higher than others. The workload is also heavy and the expectations are high but manageable.
