Fun environment; sometimes difficult to make daily goal.

Pros

Fun environment. I love my co-workers. A lot of the people that come in are really nice and you can strike up interesting conversations with them. Pretty easy-going.

Cons

It only pays minimum wage; wouldn't recommend a sales associate position unless you needed extra money or if you worked 25-30 hours a week. Sometimes it's hard to make your daily goal depending on how busy your store is. The staff was a little too small for a while and it became difficult when someone was sick and couldn't get their shift covered.

Pros

Company is constantly growing! They definitely have come a long way and its good to see the company thrive in the best way they know how! so proud of all the accomplishments.

Cons

Lack of communication. Within the company growing so fast the focus on the employees has gone away from what it use to be. Anyone who gets deep into earthbound or wants to move deep within earthbound on a retail level should always keep communication open, constructive or not just be open, and encourage upper management to talk!!!

Awesome place to work, great atmosphere, and great products!

Key holder

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible hours, allowed to express yourself freely, great discounts, training is made very simple, they like to promote from within, and as a key holder I was able to receive competitive bonuses.

Cons

They did bring in a new manager at the end of my time there who went against all that every employee at my store had come to love. She really brought down the morale of the store and it wasn't long before everyone had left.
