Pros

training modules are easy to understand, room for growth in company if you are a go getter, willing to train you if you ask questions and have a good manager, overall company culture is great at promoting inclusivity and don't discriminate on gender , race or sexual orientation. depending on store - flexible work hours.

Cons

reduced hours if your store is doing badly, reduced hours if not bilingual, no room for growth if you're not interested in becoming a 3rd key or assistant manager etc. every position that pays above sales associates requires a 4 year degree. bad managers make it hard to do your job, underpaid compared to new hires and under appreciated. in district politics can be catty and have nepotism . gossip spreads from store to store. expectation on growth of sales from year to year is unrealistic- especially with horrible unpredictable weather patterns. poor management of manager = bad store to work at

Pros

Leadership training, flexible schedule if your store has the necessary staffing, 401k match

Cons

If you don't have staffing then you are required to work weekends consistently, Sales calls requirements keep getting higher and higher, incompetent corporate leadership. Pay is based on 44 hours worked weekly for assistants(48 for Store managers; leaves room for less work/life balance
