Pros

Great coworkers, fun environment, good benefits, some flexibility with scheduling

Cons

I was never denied a day off if I asked 2 weeks in advance. It was hard to take time off last minute because most of the employees are full time, so there weren't many people who could cover a shift without going into overtime. When I worked there, the pay was much lower, but they have since adjusted the policy for raises. Seems like fairer pay now. They are not as open to feedback as they say they are.

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
