Pros

20% off everything in the store

Cons

Everything about working there. Too much pressure from corporate, hours are capped at 20 per week, won't work with a limited schedule, management is lazy, way overstaffed, inconsistent with scheduling.

Pros

Upbeat environment, minus the management

Cons

Upper management will lie about how many hours you're supposed to get. They also tell you you're eligible for a bonus/pay increase every 90 days. It's only once a year. If the GM doesn't like you, they lie about your performance to make sure you don't get a raise. It's a total popularity contest, instead of a work ethic/experience based environment. The cashiers are told they can expect 20 hours a week. They're lucky to get 4. Management is allowed to schedule people once every other week. More often than not managers are used as cashiers.
