Pros

- i really liked the education benefit. they'll pay 100% tuition for certain programs. - they have on-demand roles, where you can flex your hours

Cons

- pay is very low, barely any increases after a year - management can be different depending on which store you work at. i've been at stores where the management was friendly and warm, others not so much

Pros

If you are looking for a job that you’ll be a part of a fun team environment, have the ability to learn all about customer “guest” service, retail operations and sales, as well as merchandising even at entry level great opportunity. for such a large corporation I have been pleasantly surprised by how tight knit teams are. applying was okay, there were multiple steps (videos, assessments) but overall not too bad)., phone call and then video questions before hiring.

Cons

Pay isn’t great, but for the market it’s fair. Moving up involves a much larger increase in responsibilities and workload relative to the pay increase.
