Pros

Cool store and neat product for a good price. Good pay.

Cons

Company supplies no payroll whatsoever to accomplish the projects they expect completed. On an average night you have ONE cashier with about 30 customers in the store with a never ending line that requires you to be on register as well while at the same time half of the customers in the store are trashing the store and the other half need assistance but can't get any because you are usually trapped on register the entire night. (Then they demand that every customer gives you a '10' on the store survey.) Then at closing you usually have to stay later than scheduled to clean up the store because there was no one on the sales floor recovering. Granted, I'm sure every store is different, and low volume stores may not have this issue, but when mid to high volume stores only have ONE associate scheduled on weeknights which is the same as low volume stores, it is a disconnect and the higher volume stores are screwed. Turnover rate is through the roof. Most sales associates only last a month once they see how unrealistically busy the store is with no help (payroll).

Pros

Needs to go back to it's basic business model

Cons

Company needs to step back and really listen to their managers, the front line knows what it needs to run a store, the crazy policies that they come up with just don't make sense. Lack of hours , lack of support
