Pros

Incredibly generous discount, flexible hours (sometimes,) can be creative at times, very customer facing

Cons

Random spurts of hiring, regardless of current employees, which can lead to less hours for everyone. Terrible pay, and getting a raise is incredibly difficult - involved talking with management many times.

Pros

When I worked there 2003-2009 there used to be a real positive employee/employer relation ship. The pay was fair and many positions had intensives like commissions, bonuses. The working hours were distributed fairly and if you worked hard you were rewarded. There was good training to the employees so you felt good about the way you presented yourself. Finally there were some very good employee discounts and many employees used to work there because of that.

Cons

Returning there to work in 2013 was a big mistake. The training has all but disappeared, the fair pay and bonuses are gone. You are not rewarded for hard work anymore. The hours are set to so many different employees and are not real ones that you can work with and survive on as an employee. The Team spirit and good employee relationships are not the same.
