Pros

You get to hear how awesome the place you work for is constantly. T-shirt uniform. 20%discount on already cheap stuff. the music makes you feel like you in a teenage school girl movie.

Cons

Insane daunting tasks that are expected to be done to perfection, with one cashier and one management member per shift. You seem to get trained as you make the mistakes. Management blows a lot of smoke up your hoo hah so you don't quit. "We promote from within" no they don't. "You can really grow and develop here." most cashiers work 4-8hrs a week and the "key holders" barely get 20hrs. You could be the worst employee on the planet, but if you get every customers email and have your friends take the evaluation survey and give you tens, you will probably get your own store. Udder nonsense. I never worked for such a disorganized, money hungry, joke of a company in my life.

Pros

Staff and People Are usually fun Cool merchandise generally a pretty chill atmosphere

Cons

If you are a normal employee, do not get your hopes up because you will not be working very many hours at all (less that 10 per week, on average). If you're being hired for an opening, best keep looking for jobs for at least three weeks after you're hired, because once opening is over, they cut about a quarter of their staff with little warning.
