Pros

Very fun, albeit challenging, place to work. Spent my entire adult life there pretty much until I was laid off last year. If you can find a position outside of the store as I did for most of my career, it's absolutely fantastic. The store is great too, but it comes with all the drawbacks of a retail job. Would definitely go back for the right position.

Cons

Varying hours/shifts depending on your position. Due to the current nature of brick and mortar retail, there are always re-orgs which sometimes lead to layoffs. No longer much career advancement due to so many positions being eliminated for the sake of efficiency and profits..

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.
