Pros

20% discount is good I guess

Cons

Very few hours but a whole lot of work. Underpaid and extremely underappreciated. They want everything done but don't want to pay us. Huge disconnect between corporate and stores. Freight is absolutely out of control but expected to be maintained with bare-bone hours

Pros

20% discount that's really all I can think of.

Cons

Aggressive or discriminatory language, Hours are not distributed fairly, GM and managers take over all hours while employees receive 2 to 5 hours a week.Managers take over floor and cash register when employees are more than capable of handling the floor and register too. There should be one manager and two employees scheduled not two managers and one employee.If managers need to make certain hours then they should distribute hours more evenly.It's not fair ,because employees don't get proper experience and hours, the managers take it all.Not a company you can commit to because you can't afford to work there.No opportunities, certain managers treat employees like they are expendable and beneath them.Not a reliable company, no job security. They will cut your hours profusely and micromanage you.
