Pros

Company paid health care Growing company Family owned

Cons

Upper managment does not meet together to decide on how things should be done. You will get one person that comes into the store and tell you to do something one way, then the next day you get a different person come in and yell at you for doing it that way. The company in general is micro managed like crazy the store manager has very little power and are basicly just a glorifed stocker. Home office changes policy constantly to fit themselfs. As for holiday pay you will hardly ever see it. They only pay for a couple of holidays and you have to work 5 out of the last 7 of what ever day it falls on. So if the holiday falls on a friday and you have only worked 4 out of the last 7 fridays you will not get holiday pay.

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
