Pros

It gives you experience for corporate jobs. It's the same type of personalities at every job, from McDonald's to Prudential.

Cons

The discount is garbage. It's 15%. But Chicago Tax is 9.75%. Promotions are based on convenience, not skill set. Quality of life is not really important. You have to manipulate your availability to maintain your sanity.

Pros

The coworkers are the best. This is for the North Star location

Cons

Management. There is clearly favoritism. They don't want to help, they will yell at you and ask why aren't you moving fast enough. The GM doesn't do anything. Her only job is to "talk to the higher ups." She will yell at you if you speak Spanish and say English only. If you ever had an interview here some of you were judge by the way you looked. Quote from one of the managers "I didn't like the way they looked." Also, it's a problem when you talk to your coworkers when it slow.
