Pros

Great team mates, employees....generous employee discount, paid vacation, holidays, health insurance

Cons

Workload is Crazy! Constant cuts in payroll result in very few actual people to assist customers. It feels like there is a new set twice a month and replenishment does very little replenishing. There is far too much work to be done in the 3 hours or so a day you are allowed to work in your department. LOD shifts and problem solving eat up much of the day.

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.
