Pros

Privately owned, so not much red tape... however this seems to becoming an issue with micro-management by corporate and managers not allowed to merchandise to their store's needs.

Cons

Growing too fast and corporate not putting any assets in improvements in current stores. Corporate Store operations over-worked with minimal staffing increase or improvements. MIS issues all the time with registers freezing up. Lot of pressure put on associates to sell replacement plans that are over-priced.
