All about the men

Pros

Extensive benefits, paid time off, able to work with any schedule, feeds you on weekends

Cons

Men are favored, terrible dress guidelines. There's only one woman working in the back. Rewards lazy people and stunt good workers' growth, most definitely not enough pay for the hard work we do. No room for advancement if you work in the back/in operations, growth is basically exclusively on the sales side.

Pros

You can travel and transfer to any location across the country.

Cons

Inconvenient for family life. I do not recommend a parent for any job with this company. Hours are terrible, you will have to work until every customer has left and some managers will do anything to make a sale. Managers are worried about reports and not the associates. They do not promote within and would rather not advance associates who may know more than them by fear that they may be replaced or moved to another location. Managers do not like to be challenged but it's a bullet point for growth within the Courageous Leadership competency...Benefits are expensive.
