Pros

They work with your schedule. Opportunity for relatively high pay in a simple retail sales setting. Chance to learn client relation skills, and freedom to explore creativity to a certain extent.

Cons

Poor leadership. The store management is fairly unskilled. They hold many pointless meetings, and are not effective at explaining the value of such things to employees. This leaves the employees feeling bored and stuck in a never ending "groundhog day" type job.

Pros

I gained good customer service and problem solving experience while working here. You learn how to multitask under pressure. I also gained experience gift wrapping(I found out I enjoy this part of the job a lot), shipping orders, and overall in store functions. I met many supportive and enjoyable coworkers while working here as well as memorable customers.

Cons

The main Cons of working here were: -Chronic understaffing -Too many responsibilities expected from one associate -Feeling unsupported by main management - Hard work and extra effort often goes unrecognized - High stress due to unrealistic workload expectations - Limited opportunities for actual feedback to management to actually improve
