Pros

They offer flexible hours and tuition reimbursement. It's a great place for Students to work while in school because the managers are very flexible with allowing time off for school events and the pay is excellent compared to other retail stores. Cashiers start out as $8.00 p/hr and you are given a min. of 25 cent raises.

Cons

Not a place to make a career because you are required to work any hours and long days. If you are salaried, the long hours may not be worth the pay and stress of dealing with the retail environment. If you are hourly, you are NOT allowed to work overtime, no matter what, which is a downside if you need more money then you are making.

Pros

Getting to build relationships with the customers and partners. The pay is excellents and so are the benefits.

Cons

Micro-management is awful. When a partner gets a ASM position they act like they are better than the rest. Managers make ASM's feel like they are better and different than the rest of the partners with special privileges. Managers get do stuff that the other partners don't get to do. Like walk on the front end with sodas, energy drinks, snacking on food but the cashiers and baggers don't get to do that. ONLY water they can drink on the front end while managers, store directors, store managers are walking around the store and front end they everything other than water.
