Pros

- Never a shortage on hours. Overtime during holidays. - Days go by quick. Always something to do.

Cons

- Poor work / life balance due to scheduling. - Small stores only have three associates (Manager, Full-time, Part-time) meaning there is only one person per shift. - Alot to get done as one person.

Pros

Flexible hours and Christmas off

Cons

No other holidays off, pay is garbage, it’s like being in school again. Everyone talks about you behind your back. Also if you have a different opinion on anything they’ll make your life hell
