Pros

-"Decent" pay for retail ($2.50 extra an hour on weekends) -Work every other weekend instead of all weekends -Easy to transfer to different stores I would recommend this job to a high schooler who needs some extra money, but I'm not sure how anyone can support a healthy family in this workplace.

Cons

-Inconsistent and over-controlling upper management -Incentives given to stay that seem great, but aren't really (yearly bonus if you work enough hours, but if they paid us $1 more an hour, we would make more) -Only Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays off -Pay tops off for part time at less than a dollar more than a new-hire high school graduate, even if you've worked there for 5+years -long hours -high turnover rate from dissatisfied workers

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
