      Pros

      -Friendly staff. Became friends with a lot of the staff while there. -Managers were very willing to train new staff. -Staff room treats (such as cookies and TV) made staff feel welcomed and appreciated.

      Cons

      -Store gets too busy and the amount of work increase, without an increase in pay. -Staff are expected to lead birthday parties as well without additional pay for the extra work.
