Pros

Fellow employees were nice and respectful and hard working.

Cons

Silly, to the point of being stupid, the drill they put you through every shift start. Store Management ,at the directive of upper management make the SPS (Loss Prevention) repeat what they do, and repeat their job description EVERY SINGLE SHIFT START. I have never had a job where I had to repeat what I do to my manager every single day. They treat you like a child and as if you are stupid. You are only allowed to walk the floor once an hour and then only if you can find an associate to stand in your place for 10 min's., which is very hard, most of the time.25 hours a week is all they allow you to work. Are you kidding me?!

Pros

All of my coworkers were wonderful. No high school drama. Boss was flexible and understanding, although he always liked it if you said you could work more hours. The employee discount is pretty awesome. The work wasn't bad and rude customers were rare.

Cons

There was pressure to come in even when you were sick. Pay wasn't the greatest; it usually stayed ahead of minimum wage, but by no means kept up with inflation. Visits from corporate often meant a new change in procedures that had been working and demands that were somewhat unreasonable given the constraints of the layout or number of employees available.
