Pros

The customers and employees are awesome, and the environment is super relaxed. You also get a 50% discount on all merchandise in the store.

Cons

The starting salary is very low. There is also not a lot of room for growth because it is such a small company.

Pros

I loved the environment and how laid back it was. They didnt discriminate against tattoos. I loved my DM and store manager. I started out in September of 2012 as a sales associate by the end of October 2012 I was a key holder by December 2012 I became the first assistant by February 2014 I was a stand in store manager because our current manager put in their notice. Unfortunately because we got a notice that we were shutting down in June of 2014 they didn't give me the store manager title. But I closed that store down. If I had the opportunity I would go back to Earthbound in a heartbeat.

Cons

Absolutely nothing except i.wish we hadnt shut down .ooo and the stereotyping that we would get from customers. I actually had a customer not allow their children to come in with her because she said she was just getting sage to ward off evil spirits and didn't want her children to be in our store.
