Pros

Decent amenities at the home office ... onsite childcare, fitness center, Starbucks, etc. Company is trying to get profitable again so there might be an opportunity now to be part of the growth.

Cons

The stores have great people but the culture has changed at the corporate office. Used to be more of a family atmosphere and had a special culture tied to the company's historic roots. As longtime employees are being shown the door, they're being replaced by outsiders. Now it's just another corporation.

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.
