Pros

Coworkers were tolerable and i liked some of them. Scheduling was fine and able to work around school though i did have occasional issues

Cons

- store management was very cold and micromanaged -Did not feel cared about in the slightest. -Very difficult to get time off. -Communication is lacking. -Training and briefing on products is minimal -My personal department manager left all the work for me to do on my solo 4 hour shift almost every time which was often almost impossible despite being an efficient and fast worker. At times this caused me to have to stay 30 minutes- over an hour after my shift ended. Which was frowned upon by the company because they would have to pay me more. But if i didnt it would make it more difficult on openers and myself for future closes.
