Pros

The customer base is pretty cool and some of the facts and histories about the products carried are neat

Cons

Upper management (home office) is negligent. Heard "figure it out" a lot when shipped too much product for our location that we knew wouldn't sell but couldn't ship to another store. The store was very literally falling apart and nothing was done about it the entire time I worked there. They allowed us to go through holiday season with one working credit card reader. The kinds of people they uplift are toxic. Managers can be written up and terminated with very little effort but a miserable employee has to mess up a LOT before anything is done. They make sure you know how replaceable you are.

Pros

The customers that come into the store that actually makes the job fun

Cons

If you are black they tell you not to take away from the culture. You are definitely treated differently if you are of the African American race. The company should definitely do better.
