Pros

Great employee discounts , however the pay scale is poor and management tend to treat staff like servants which are generally ignored BUT constantly harassed to perform in a superhuman manner when staff is being cut back to unreasonable levels. Of course the management blames inaction for poor results. Perhaps they should dispose of the computerized scheduling system which only allows maximum staffing at projected high traffic periods.

Cons

Management doesn't like to listen to staff recommendations or request for help.

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.
