Pros

people made us smile mgrs well another story ..

Cons

truck shipments too large ..backroom and sales floor too small for what they send and if mgrs actually worked on the floor and not just in the office or expect the team to do all their work it would be a better place...giving asm and other key members a bonus like they do the mgrs..would actually be nice since we were doing the work in displaying the products selling the products to the customers while the so-called mgr sits in the back on her duff not doing a darn thing ....yeah it's true the mgr i had coul not even merchandise her own store without my help...and she gets paid the big bucks...wow

Pros

Solid company with pretty standard Retail operations. If you're interested in a career in Corporate Retail environment and want to learn the ropes of various Merchandising operations, this company is a good start.

Cons

Compensation very low and limited initiative exists to train internal employees to advance within the company. Essentially not much promotions or development opportunity, especially for people at the bottom of the latter (entry level positions).
