Pros

Good job for a younger teen starting out in the work force. Easy to get into, coworkers were usually nice. Cash registers and system are incredibly easy to use and get used to.

Cons

Holiday overflow of items in this store can make stocking difficult, the customers also overflow during the holidays and it’s extremely overwhelming. The late opening hours during the holidays is kinda brutal to stay up during. Closing the store at 12am and cleaning till 1am was rough. The customers were often rude and there was a bunch of times where kids threw up and just…walked off, the parent not even telling anyone. There was many times where I had to clean up throw up after an unsuspecting customer stepped in it. They did have powder for it though which was cool. Local corporate also made our store take down our pride flag that was up for over a year prior which was very disappointing.

Pros

Fun after work activities, Free beer upstairs, a handful of people.

Cons

The failing company is a giant secret, everything is done behind your back, management will protect their names and financials before investing the wrong doings within the company as a whole. Terrible place to work.
