Pros

You get the meet some of the greatest people, whether that be coworkers or guests that come into shop. The environment is super friendly and inviting, the work pace is an even ratio of business and having a good time. It doesn’t feel like a job because of the environment, so it’s quite fun. The discount is another pro, along with other exclusive benefits. Other than that, it’s a great first time job for college students who are looking for experience and to build their resumes. If you’re a conversationalists or easy to get along with, this job is definitely for you.

Cons

I would say the only con is during slow seasons, is that when holiday or peak hours are done, the scheduling gets a little weird. So expect to be cut or not work as many hours during the slow times.

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.
