Pros

good pay, good environment, MOST of the time i feel really heard and seen by management. not just a number in the system.

Cons

they don’t really fire management unless it’s for a big deal or they’re tired of you. they tend to just transfer them around so they’re a problem somewhere else. there’s also no consistencies in management because they’re constantly being transferred around due to the company’s needs. it can make for a confusing environment where every manager will have a different answer to the same question. communication between management and also between management and crew is horrible.

Pros

-Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

Cons

-Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
