Pros

Good benefits, cheap lunch, never a dull moment, overall lgbtq positive environment

Cons

Disrespected by the cliquey status of how the store handles departments, hard labor job with unequal pay, unable to hire on additional hands because of how hard the job is compared to how much you get paid. The way they handle annual reviews is you need to be able to LITERALLY change the very foundations of the company in order to get an "excellent" rating. You are completely discouraged from trying do work hard at your job due to the fact your hard work will not be properly rewarded.
