      Pros

      -Employee Discount -Teachers, Customers and Staff are nice, easy to work with, and care about what they do

      Cons

      - Corporate required us to make scripted phone calls about promotions, and often pushed us to talk customers into getting the promotions even if they said no. - The computer system is old and disorganized, and from an employee level I could tell it needed someone to go in, scrub all the old data, and make it work more efficiently.

      Pros

      store discount, I guess, but that's not worth it

      Cons

      Miserable experience. Management is entirely apathetic, brushes off concerns, or ignores them completely. I've heard "I don't care" more times than I can count. Despite countless attempts to speak with store management and HR, I've been ignored or told "we'll get to it" when it comes to actually getting paid for hours I have already worked. That's not how employment works, friends.
