      Pros

      So many amazing customers and co workers. Pay is good depending on your position.

      Cons

      Upper management. Store managers vary by store a lot are great some absolutely terrible. The decisions made have been absolutely terrible. Cutting hours pushing everyone even more. Hiring part timers and expecting them to work like full time associates after a month of 12 hour work weeks. Used to be a great place to work now despite the company insisting its the best place to work its garbage. In my district alone I know theres 11 leaders looking to leave.
