Pros

It was fine, the scheduling was a little unorganized, but the atmosphere wasn't horrible. The people were fine, the manager was very kind, (Kat) and I felt guided by her. For a retail job for a young person, I would say it is one of the better stores.

Cons

They would schedule us at just under the amount of time we would do to get a required break, so I didn't love that. Lots of people wouldn't lock up their phones and wouldn't get caught or reprimanded, so it sucked when I would actually follow the rules when I could have easily not. Also, you have to put your belongings in a locker and lock it every shift. No chairs in the back of the store, so it's hard to relax for your 15 minutes (when you get it) or eat back there. They also had this rule where you could be told while on the floor that your shift was getting extended 2 hours with no prior notice. They made calling out sound like it was the end of the world, but I would be at the phone and hear people do it all the time.

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.
