Pros

The schedule is flexible, so you can work another job or go to school and you'll usually still get at least 15 hours a week; it's a good starter job for someone; it promotes from within.

Cons

the pay is absolute garbage; management expects too much from the associates: we have to clean the floor, help customers, respond to register calls all at the same time; there is little to no communication between management and supervisors, and even less between management and hourly employees; supervisors are apparently responsible for everything that goes wrong in their department, even if it's because the hourly people aren't pulling their weight.

Always work but unstable environment

Pros

Lots of opportunities to work when going to college. Time goes by fast as you always have something to do never a dull moment.

Cons

Managers, Supervisors , and staff change very frequently making it a very unstable environment. It is almost mandatory to work all weekends and holidays. In some cases you would be called in for as little as a 3 hour shift.

Pros

Friendly coworkers, good vibe around the store, people are always willing to help. People try to maintain a good attitude all of the time.

Cons

Training was sort of disorganized, sometimes I wasn't sure where I was supposed to go or report to. I think I was assumed to know some things that I didn't know/wasn't trained to do.
