Pros

Decent discount, various part time hours to work.

Cons

I didn't work here for long and let me tell you why. Every single day I worked there with about 30min left on my shift the store manager would stroll through the back of the store where we packaged and shipped online orders and tell us that he's keeping the window open for online orders for another 30-60min. Well, that all of a sudden means that we're kept there for another 2-3 hours to fulfill those orders. The work/life balance is zero at this place. Also they don't pay well and there's a lot of turnover.

Pros

Work/life balance. Co-workers are great, hard working people.

Cons

"Leadership" and I use the word loosely is terrible. It's all a game of politics and who you know. Hard work constantly goes unnoticed and unqualified employees get promoted because they are buddies with management. Every move management makes is to bow down to the CEO, regardless of what they believe is the right business decision. If you aren't a "yes" person you are tagged as negative and you can't escape that tag. Management is constantly changing the direction of the ship and dumping the work of those changes on the workers with no appreciation for how much effort has to be exerted due to their lack of strategy.
