Pros

the discount is good, the people were nice for the most part

Cons

preach internal growth but then refuse to hire within the company, pay is low and will pay people doing the same jobs different hourly rates. if you want to work here in hopes of moving up save yourself the trouble it's not worth it and unlikely to happen.

Busy back to school season, although that's entirely to be expected. Never had a bad experience

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.
