Pros

Pay is good with good benefits.

Cons

Bonus structure is set up in a way where the General Manager makes 60 percent and the other 40 is divided among the rest (3 to 4 managers). Same hours and in a lot of cases even more hours for the associate managers.

Pros

This job is great overall and I really attribute a lot of the positive atmosphere to the retail manger! Lazondra is the best! She is incredibly kind, encouraging, and understanding! You’ll feel very welcome starting here! She wants the best for the store, but also the best for you as a person! She’s also definitely not afraid to get out there and help out the team! Love her!

Cons

Sometimes it’s a little slow work wise, not that the restaurant itself is slow, but you can only refold the same shirt and check on the same shoppers so many times.
