Pros

Good hours for part time, holidays off which is a plus, closes early on the weekends. Friendly staff great team to work with.

Cons

Poor upper management, always have dump rewards programs or try it this way, no this way. Do this, don't do that. It's never ending. Mandatory meetings that you don't get paid for because you work off commission, they try to tell you that you are getting paid for them but your not if you do enough to get paid commission.
