Pros

Coworkers are mostly great and management just switched to a much better GM by bringing back Ken. Managers are mostly solid. Employee discount is really good, and the health/dental/vision plans are worthwhile. The clientele is decent for a mall store. Some of the mall food court stores give you a 10% discount. Schedules are flexible.

Cons

You are expected to be partly a credit card salesman (though the Club card is genuinely a decent store credit card, the focus on it can be surprising if you haven't experienced it before). Half of the handhelds are constantly broken (earphone jack and mobile pay especially). Corporate is stingy on hours. Inventory system runs off of a positively ancient and not well-optimized program. It's attached to a mall, which means theft gets crazy. Very few truly full-time positions are available. Pay is a bit low, and the yearly assessment raises are small.
