Pros
The pay was above minimum wage. For every 5 people you got to apply for a credit card, you got a $10 bonus gift card. The work place was friendly. I loved my store manager. I loved almost everybody I worked with. I got to wear athletic clothes to "look the part and sell the brand." The employee discount was decent.
Cons
At the store I worked at in Minnesota, the department manager pushed their loyalty program. He pushed it so far that we, as cashiers, were just supposed to take the information from the customer and sign them up without their knowledge or approval which often lead to us getting yelled at by the customers. I expressed my feelings about that to my manager, and he blew it off saying that this technique works. It wasn't a technique. It was an invasion of privacy, but who cares as long as we have a high percentage of loyalty card members, right? Also, they weren't strict with the call off policy, so the cashiers were usually stuck at work to cover the people who called off. I worked a lot of over time and not really by choice. I believe they should be more strict about calling off. If the excessively do it, they should be fired. It's not fair to those of us who are stuck there to cover their shift.
