Pros

Great co-workers. Very flexible with school and activities outside of work. Environment was fun and encouraging. Did not dread going to work.

Cons

The pay I received was not spectacular. We were typically understaffed most times. Pay had to be received on preloaded cards rather than a check.

Pros

If you're a regular associate you're only working 4 hrs a day. If you have school or other duties this is great. Easy to move up if you push for it. They haven't perfected a system for that yet. Easy overtime (which isn't really overtime). Potential for benefits if you move up. Awesome discount that extends to any store and can be used by your family as well.

Cons

Low hours for regular CSA's. High expectations with little yield. To get hours you need to move up, it was easy to get to Assistant Manager but once you hit "full time" (37.5hrs) you're expected to drop any other social activities and live only for the store. You will often feel like you're pushing to the extreme but nothing is really getting done.
