Pros

Average salary depending what part of the country you are in . 33 days holidays

Cons

One of the company’s value its family… on paper as per se. Because in real life everyone is out to stab each other in the back within management. Gossips is just part of the culture in most stores , no understanding of work life balance , expectations is to work every weekend because you’re a manager .
