Pros

Some of the people are interesting to work with. Very friendly.

Cons

Management and supervisors are the only full-time. Associates are only part-time. You will get under 25 hours/week. Alot of times you will get 12-18 hrs/week unless you're getting credit apps and doing the extra work. Very understaffed. They only use the extra hours if they really need to. Saving the hours($) for management yearly bonuses. A past manager told me that's what happens when they stay under budget.

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.
