Pros

This is a great company to work for if you like to work with people.

Cons

There are a lot of last minute schedule changes that you are always required to work. Pay is not comparable to other companies.Chances of promoting within the company is based upon whether you are like by senior management and not job skills.

Pros

If you like working early morning hours and getting off early in the afternoon (which I do) this is a great part-time job. I was a college student when I worked here so it worked perfectly with my schedule. The pay is pretty decent and the people you work with are friendly.

Cons

Only real downside is that it's retail. You're going to run into some rude customers from time to time. There's always work to do and not enough time given to do it sometimes. But as long as you work hard and managers see that you're trying your best there isn't too much pressure put on you.
