Pros

They have wonderful part time opportunities with lots of growth opportunities and an excellent store manager. They also sell philosophy!

Cons

the scheduling does require weekend work and they typicaly require a two week advance notice for a day off and even then their is no guarantee.

Pros

The discount is good. Most Co-worker are nice to work with. I like to do set sales. Supervisors are nice .

Cons

Schedules are not so great most always you only know what your working 1-2 weeks in advance makes it very hard to make plans or appointments. The management changes so often its crazy. Interviews for job openings take forever and usually management already knows who their giving the job to. The older you are the less likely you'll be to move up. Work 6 hours with one 15 minute break. May be replaced at anytime.

Pros

Decent pay. Easy to catch on. It's a great area so its busy so you won't just be there bored.

Cons

It's a department store so it's messy and customers are rude. The management get angry when you call them to verify stuff but if you do it with out telling them they get mad too.. They play favorites also. If your not a favorite your kind of s.o.l.
