Pros

The pay was not too bad for a retail job, but there are so many other jobs I would rather do for much less than work here.

Cons

What you do today will not be good for any other day. It changes every day. You never know if what you are doing will stay the same or change. The rules are never the same depending on the day or time of day. They give you 4 days of work to do in 1 day then threaten your job if you don't stay late or work your day off to get it done. Extremely antiquated way of running a store. The office and warehouse is running on scanners and computers, but the stores are running on dos and pen and paper. Break out your 1980 Comadore 64 to keep up . Not the place to build your resume. District Manager treated everyone with total disrespect, never giving any positive feedback , just negative comments and snide remarks. Be prepared to enslave yourself to this Christian company for very little in return.
