Pros

Customers can be nice, fun and different because you get to see all the different donations that come in. Sometimes white people show they don't like african americans. I came to a different world when I came to this country racist town.

Cons

Pay is minimum wage, Leads make 8.25 an hour. Where I am from that is a slap in the face, to pay adults with experience this little money in 2013. Management in the Sumter store is horrible, unprofessional and does not know what she is doing. I seen prejudice there, white people keep their job and does not have the qualifications to perform the job.
