Pros

Amazing Management, great company, upbeat, young store, potential to grow, upper management is paid well, excellent trainers, high standards for both the store and for employees.

Cons

Bad entry level pay, therefore making it unappealing as a long term job if without a college degree. 40 hours are never guaranteed.
