Pros

The employee discount, its a good starting retail job. You work with a lot of kids your age. The discount. Generally you can have much fun at work. Sometimes you don't do much all day long and get paid for it. You can meet some great people, and some not so great people.

Cons

If your full time, don't expect to have a set schedule, but thats retail in general. Store mrale varies greatly between stores, as many customers come to my store complaining about all the other ones. It's easier to move up if your buddy buddy with management, but that's in many jobs also.

Pros

Great General Manager, that’s about it.

Cons

All of the leadership besides the GM were unprofessional. They couldn’t help it but most were incompetent.

Pros

Flexible hours, employee perks such as discounted products, offers 401(k) despite being part-time, coworkers who are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is quick to call-out sales that have nothing attached to it (warranties, card applications, memberships, or accessories). There is a rodent problem that has not been addressed for nearly a year; food and beverages cannot be sold at this store.
