Pros

They will give you plenty of hours to work if you give them your availability. Occasionally, workers are allowed to leave early if the store is not busy.

Cons

If you tell them you are free to work at a certain time, they will not hesitate to ask you (sometimes force you) to work during that time even if it causes you to work more than the amount of hours you said you could handle a week. This was a struggle for me because I was a student at the same time and didn't have enough time to be working as much as they were scheduling me. They are one of the few companies to still manually post work hours rather than put it online--which would be much more efficient.

It is hit and miss.

Pros

Your first year as a full-time employee you receive two weeks paid vacation. There's awesome benefits, including the 401k. There's a lot of room for growth within the company.

Cons

There isn't much of a work-life balance, it is pretty much work. Policies change a lot, and you're never sure which is the right one. Stores can get cliquey and hard to make any progress. Not really great at adapting to state policies.

Somewhat relaxed environment, might change from store to store.

Cons

Dealing with childish people, typical of a job with younger workers.
