Pays pretty well

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity for overtime just about every week which boosts your paycheck from its alright pay rate to a pretty good rate for retail.

Cons

Rough work that a lot of people will come for one shift and never return. Understaffed most of the time which makes your job a lot harder. There were times I would work an overnight and be scheduled an 8-hour shift to open the store that morning.
