Pros

Fun people to work with. But don't let management see you talking to any of them.

Cons

Management needs a reality check. They are supposed to be a family oriented business, but that only applies if your last name is Mills. They don't give a crap about you or your family. Impossible to get time off off and their attendance policy is a joke. They breed an atmosphere of paranoia.

Pros

-$8.5 per hour on weekdays, get an extra $2.25 per hour on weekends(part-time employees), I believe it's $10 per hour for full time (full time also get time and a half on sundays). -get moved around to different departments, instead of just cashiering the whole time (if you are a cashier). This allows you to gain experience in other skills, in the world of retail. -can get status transferred to other departments after working there for 1 to 3 months usually -co-workers are all great to work with, and make great friends. -most of the time, work load is manageable

Cons

-can only get a $0.4 raise every year (for part-time) -get shifts to work in other departments, without your consent -point system, once you get 12 points, you automatically get fired (1 point for being late by less than 15 minutes, 2 for anything over 15 minutes, 3 for missing a shift because of an appt you forgot to tell management about, and 4 for a no show without calling, and every 2 consecutive calender months you will lose a point, the month that you got the point in does not count towards the consecutive months) -no employee discount (you do get a discount on work clothes though, black shoes, and black pants) -can't work more than 27 hours a week -3 week notice just to take a day off. -stupid lines that you are required to say to every customer when cashiering -required to greet every customer and ask them if they want help, even if they clearly don't need help, or have not even acknowledged your presence.
