      I love going to work!

      Sales associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Scheduling flexibility - Work is always fun - 5 hour shift (for part time) is perfect for students - Even the low-level employees are treated respectfully (by the AM and GM) - People that work hard and care about what they do are praised for it - Other sales associates, the AM, and DM, all care about how I'm doing. It really does feel like a family enviroment.

      Cons

      - DM is ridiculously meticulous when it comes to seemingly unimportant things, but things that matter, are ignored. - Pay isn't great - 5-10 hours a week typically - Some basic store functions are missing. (ex: PA system)

      Could be a really great place!

      Part time associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good with days off you may need. Great customers and associate team members Good discount Hires seasonal associates, but has loyalty to the permanent associates Hours of operation: not too late/not too early (at least for me)

      Cons

      Too many people hired: everyone gets about 4-6 hours a week: why??? No communication from mgt to associates, no one knows what is going on Unprofessional management: they gossip constantly about the district and store team members NO training/no follow up / no development District and regional management very secretive and RUDE!

      Worst experience of my professional life

      General manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is a mindless job that anyone with an 8th grade education level could perform with ease and you stay in great shape from putting shipment away all day.

      Cons

      If you have any management experience with any other organization, you will quickly see this job is a joke. There is ZERO career advancement opportunity, you get paid sub par with sub par benefits compared to ANY other retail management job. Additionally, individuals in positions above GM are completely unprofessional, condescending, and arrogant. If this were not such a small company, I would anticipate that their compliance and HR hotlines would never stop ringing. This is most assuredly the worst company I have ever worked for on any level.
