Pros

good place to work at; had lots of fun, even with the management team. Also won a few things; great chance to move up within the company.

Cons

some of the cons included doing the mystery shoppers, as well as dealing with the holidays. Mad customers were also somewhat of a hassle.

Pros

*It was a fun place to work and made lots of friends with staff (excluding the management) *the discount was great *good about giving you time off when you requested it.

Cons

*Like what others have said the management act like hawks monitoring everything you do, shows a lack of trust and faith in your employees. *Most of the management had no clue, and let their job go to their head. *Forced to work weekends, no exceptions *Store meetings were a waste of time *Very low paying job *If you were part time you would never work more than 14 a week *Lots of politics, everyone seemed real fake, especially the management *The job required personal time outside of work to complete required training which is ridiculous for such a low paying job. I don't think so. *Like others have said its a okay job for a few months to a year but don't expect any sort promotions or career advancements.
