you know, I haven't heard any bad press about the place. I know about cheap goods, from my understanding their retail employees are given better salaries and benefits than the average big box, their meatballs are wonderful, and they aren't WalMart.
If they do have a dark side, they've done a good job at hiding it from the Portland media.
