Pros

the people at my store were good to work with

Cons

While working there, I transferred stores. I kept my pay rate from my old store when moving to my new store. Then, I found out the starting wage at the new store was higher than my wage, despite the fact I had worked there for a year. The people I was training were making more than me, and they wouldn't change it.
