Pros

The coworkers were nice Working as a cashier in the store is not bad, if you are actually given shifts

Cons

For setting up a new store, they hired almost everyone from the interviews and then stopped giving shifts once the store opened. Upper management is disrespectful; the way employees were treated during store set up was shocking. Use intimidation tactics and make you feel like you are of no value to them. Expected to know everything right off the bat with almost no help or training. Then when you make a mistake or ask a question you are treated condescendingly or yelled at. Store set up was dangerous, exhausting, poorly planned and poorly organised.
