Pros

Paid weekly, but also "weakly" paid!

Cons

Paid less than minimum wage! Obvious favoritism when it came to scheduled hours per week, , as well as unrealistic expectations put on employees who worked on just the sales floor. Employees were unhappy at work and it was very apparent to customers shopping there. Incomplete training program for new-hires, company rules were not always met by every manager. Managers were very unhelpful, unappreciative, and over-worked. Employees were either over-worked or complaining that they didn't get scheduled enough hours to make it worth it to work there. A very unhappy, disturbing, and gloomy work environment. I would not recommend working at this company to anyone, no matter what job "title" they apply for. Most of the employees I worked with have quit by now as well. One of the worst retail jobs I've ever experienced in my 15 years of retail employment.
