In 3 years they like to push their associates out the door because every year you're there, your time off gets multipled, if you hoard it, the company 'forces" you to take a check if it gets to a certain point. Managers got an extra paycheck every 2 weeks on-top of their normal paycheck, and who can't argue with an extra 2gs minimum. (I was shown this first hand, as it was getting rubbed in my face by my sales manager and my store manager)
