Pros

I cant think of any. Its a great place to come and retire. Other than that it's stagnant and low paying.

Cons

Low pay, bad benefits, backstabbing is not a singular thing here. The whole company takes pride in back-stabbing fellow associates. There is NO sense of teamwork here.

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.
