Pros

Benefits- Company sponsored health care Good Pay Worked with great people at the store level. Company is growing and profitable.

Cons

Privately owned- you hear it at every meeting. " We don't have to answer to stockholders!" No desire to retain associates, very high turnover No company match on 401k not enough vacation time. 6 days a week from November til inventory in January. Manager has no discretion on anything except merchandising and that is limited. Dm's and Rm's make most of the decisions for merchandising. Always looking to catch someone doing something wrong. No focus on the positive.

Pros

it is a decent overall gap job, you will be doing every role in the store and if it is dead you will be expected to multitask up front.

Cons

some of the management could be harsh on employees
