Pros

The people you meet and work with. Flexible scheduling. Good benefits.

Cons

Unorganized management. Very repetitive. Underpaid. Inconsistent hours. You can be easily replaced for someone who will do things for cheaper if you do not comply, there is no real respect or loyalty. Feels like they could care less about your needs and whats fair; however, don't you dare forget the slightest detail.

Pros

BoxLunch Pros: Internal ladder system: Within a year, I went from Sales Associate to Key Holder to (PT) Assistant Manager (transfer to new location). Relaxed dress standards Often the regulars are kind & entertaining to engage with HotTopic offers great benefits for management postions We help give back to the community through our partnership with Feeding America

Cons

It can be hard to move up within the same location, often you will only be considered for promotions from sales if you inquire initially. (From management perspective, it can be hard to tell who wants to move up or who just wants a weekend job when in a college area like I was.) It can be hard to get days off during comic/pop-culture conventions

Pros

Good Health Insurance Paid vacations FT Fun environment. Gives back to the community... Sort of. Cool product, nerd culture vibe.

Cons

Hardly any internal promotions. ZERO training manuscripts. Turn over rate very high, taking time to development new employees is NOT encouraged. High sales expectations with zero resources to utilize and poor HQ communication. The company says they give back to the community, but ultimately the total given back is around 1% of entire profits. Employees are encouraged not to discuss exactly how much we give back, as utilizing the community aspect is a huge driver for sales.
