Pros

managers at the store level are great people

Cons

wages, lack of hours, the company as a whole is not very appreciative of its employees, higher than the store level. unless you are a manager you will starve off the amount of money you make, and maybe if you are a manager

Pros

Flexible Scheduling: Many locations offer flexible part-time hours, which can be helpful for students or those balancing other responsibilities. Variety of Responsibilities: Employees get exposure to customer service, stocking, merchandising, and cash handling—good for building general retail experience. Internal Growth Opportunities: Moving from Cashier → Sales Associate → Assistant Manager is common, and promotions often happen faster than in other retail stores.

Cons

Low Pay: Hourly wages are often at or close to minimum wage, even for shift leads and assistant managers. High Stress: Stores are frequently understaffed, making shifts busy and physically demanding. “Pay-to-Work” Feeling: Limited hours but high expectations can feel inequitable; sometimes employees are expected to do more work than the pay reflects. Heavy Workload: Stocking, freight unloading, and cleaning can be intense, especially with small teams.
