Pros

Really fun work environment, a lot of young people which was great for me. I started off as seasonal and got a TON of hours (working 40+hrs a wk and days on end). Pay was alright and based semi on experience (8.50 was the highest for seasonal). AWESOME discounts!

Cons

As seasonal, they work you a ton but then when I got hired on as part time, I got cut down to less than fifteen hours a wk. A lot of it was b/c our mobile mgr left and they switched someone in who was an ops sup for years and knew nothing about mobile which was a nightmare. Managers def play faves and there's a lot of negativity within upper level mgmt. They also expect you to fill in for other depts sometimes when you're not even trained there which is rough.

Pros

Discount was great! Employees were great although it felt like highschool all over again! Awesome customers!

Cons

Management chose favorites and promoted useless people. It was more so who you knew not how hard you worked.
