Pros

- Insurance: PPO, low monthly cost, low deductable. - ESOP: put in the time get great retirement. - Busy environment, no boredom here - No required overtime, more time with family - Pay increases based on hours: step system, every X amount of hours you get a litle raise until you max out. Part time is $15 and change and full time is $21! - Flexibility: your never really stuck in one department. Always room to grow!

Cons

- Can be stressful: culture has changed from Pro employee to Pro profits...can lead to underappreciated and over worked staff. - Rules are fine but they will use them against you if your not meetimg expectations. - it's retail: dont expect weekends or holidays off. Not a con for me but for many others it is. - Many people remain part time for a lot of years. Full time positions are hard to come by - Work load: often the burden can be very large and lead to extreme burn out.

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.
