Pros

20% employee discount is good, casual dress, generally a laid-back environment

Cons

Minimum wage, not much opportunity for growth, unless you're a manager you won't get any more than 20 hours per week, return policy is ridiculous and irritates both customers and employees, always seemed short-staffed during working hours despite having more than enough employees on schedule who want to work more

Pros

Fun environment, good upper management, casual dress

Cons

Part-time managers get 25 hours a week or less during non-peak season. All other part-time associates get a shift or two a week. Great employees leave for other jobs because they can't afford to stay. Management talks about the idea of developing talent and promoting from within, but most promotions I have seen have been outside hires.
