Pros

If you're a hard worker, you'll be recognized/rewarded for it. Benefits are pretty good for full time employees.

Cons

There is little specialization, everyone does a little of everything. Huge disconnect between management and employees. VERY physically demanding depending on position. Labor hours get cut, expectation of the store goes up. Unrealistic budget expectations.

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.
