Pros

- 50% off With employee discount - Opportunities for growth if you're interested in staying in retail

Cons

After being hospitalized for 2 nights for being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes I was told by my manager that she was taking away a large portion of my hours as a way to punish me for missing the days they were doing store inventory - and we were in no way short of staff. I was someone at the time who always filled in for anyone if they called out sick or wanted a shift covered because I wanted the hours and was a hard worker for the store, being promoted over a fairly short period of time from a part time sales associate to a key holder to assistant manager.
