Pros

usually good atmosphere, good pay/benefits, good culture is in place, very good about lunch breaks.

Cons

inconsistent hours, too much training, micro managing, the culture is not lived up to, horrible scheduling, they get mad if its your day off and they need you to come in, not all managers are qualified. Loved the store when it first opened, now all I get is what I do wrong and if it's small it's the end of the world. the business office is full of dramaaaaaaaaaa!

Pros

-Generous time off. -Decent pay (not great, but decent) for what you do. -Company paid travel to interesting places. -My rating is based on the above. But it gets three stars by a slim margin.

Cons

-Long hours. Expected to answer phone on off days and vacation. Even late at night. -Micromanagement by people not qualified to manage. -Competetive atmosphere. In most cases, this would be good, but it promotes backstabbing and pettiness. -Fraternity atmosphere with very little professionalism.
