Pros

Good general atmosphere. Mostly good associates willing to help out and its very different each day. The schedules are quite flexible really as long as your store is looking and doing well. For a retailer they don't really have have Christmas time which really helps with your family time at home.

Cons

The politics of advancement get in the way of enjoying the job. The way the cut the stores payroll every holiday season is a joke. The busy season for this company is back to school, so if you are planning time of with the kids for their vacation the blackout period gets in the way.

Pros

Discount was pretty nice to have

Cons

Management was changed very frequently that right when one person would finally get their system in order, someone else would be hired to take their place. Also the pay was really bad, like it only became 15 right before I was leaving.
