Pros

Literally no pros . The pay sucks and I was a teenager that got exploited of his youth , I thought there would’ve been some type of promotion within but to no avail I spent my 16-18 teenage years. Although it was a fun teenage job I wish I would’ve just worked at a fast food job and saved up more money

Cons

No promotion from within, spent my last month there trying to help the good workers there find reliable work, hours were random had no reliability , my manager at the time would threaten to cut our hours if we were not 24/7 in a customers face promoting sales, hostile environment just would’ve saved my teen years trying to chase a retail corporate job

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.
