Pros

Interviews are fairly easy and you'll get a quick start date.

Cons

Primarily, they do not hire full time, so although they may choose to give you 40 hours per week, you won't qualify for any benefits until after a year of employment. Instead of offering competitive pay, they will low ball you and you'll have to fight to make more. They randomly cut hours for weeks at a time and blame it on corporate. You'll get mail offers for auto insurance and pet insurance but won't have medical, dental, vision, PTO, etc. until a year after employment. Stores are purposely understaffed and staff often work in very stressful conditions.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
