Pros

Full time has benefits, management is very understanding and a decent discount.

Cons

The pay is very low for a demanding job, the technology is very outdated, corporate isn't very diligent with thinking of the outcomes for store associates with planning events. A lot of poor planning that leaves the store associates to take on the consequences. Events like Pay Your Age. The company has policies that are very vague and are left open to interpretation and when policies are broken there's no repercussion. Usually just a "Don't do that"
