Pros

Opportunity for advancement is there if you work. if you're in a good area the regulars customers are great. Good employee incentives ie: coupons, discounts.

Cons

They pay barely over minimum wage so finding good employees is hard. Cutting payroll towards the end of the quarter makes it nearly impossible to run a thriving store. Too much emphasis on the MAG and not on individual store needs.

Pros

Great place to work, overall. Customers were almost always polite, and running the register made the time fly by.( 5 hours went by in like 30 minutes!)

Cons

Did not get to hardly ever use the restroom. And when I did try to hurry and go to the restroom, I always had at least 1 customer or more waiting on me, when I got back. And I always hurried, and was back in less than 2 minutes! And the lines rarely ever ended!

Pros

Has a great system that if followed makes the job easy. Pay is competitive for the area. Weekly pay is always a bonus. Can earn up to 5K in bonuses a year.

Cons

Payroll hours are low. While associate pay is fair, you can not keep good employees at 15 hours a week.
