Pros

The 20% off employee discount and flexible hours are the only good aspects of this job.

Cons

There are a plethora of responsibilities that get to be too stressful and overwhelming; especially for minimum wage. The management is everything but helpful when you start; they expect you to just know everything after orientation and act like you're stupid when you ask questions. My advice to anyone considering this job would be to keep looking for another job, I filled out 40 applications before I got my first call back, but it will happen with persistence and determination.

Pros

- Enjoyed working with teens/young adults and building them up into the workforce/ teaching them responsibilities -Policies were awesome, but not always backed by upper management - Always pushing you to be better

Cons

- Upper management did not have equal expectations of stores/ lacked clear communication -PAY, they will pay someone who is hired external far more then they ever will an internal. Doesn’t matter how long you’re there. I was trained from a seasonal, all the way up and made far less than newer peers. They do not see as much value in internals which is so unfortunate for them. Did my 8 years and have a lot of resentment over this.
