Pros

I met the most awesome group of people. The kids and young adults who work here are so awesome and hard working. They make work fun and enjoyable while they are there.

Cons

Pay is crap. 10.25 for associates and they barely give hours. No training for most and there is no proper training for management. You are encouraged to reach out to upper management but when they reply they act as though its an annoyance. 16.00 for assistant management but you are expected to do the store managers job as well. We have been without a store manager for a month with no communication from upper management besides being told what we aren't doing right and we need to do more. Upper management won't communicate but heavily harps on us to communicate. They want success but won't poor back into the store for some reason.

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.
