Pros

Its a steady paycheck as long as you show up to work. The benifits are ok as long as you never need to see a doctor for anything serious.

Cons

Management does not take anyone below them seriously and they never compliment people for doing a good job. They don't want to work people when customers want them around. People are always fighting over hours because the company is always cutting them, even though sales are consistantly going up.

Pros

Most of my coworkers were easy to work with. Managers were willing to accommodate school schedules, which was very important in a college town. Having the employee discount was also a plus.

Cons

The pay wasn't that great for the amount of work I often had to do during a shift, not including often being pulled out of the department to run the register then having to pick up the slack later. Some managers had a very high-and-mighty attitude. Others didn't realize the shortage issues in some departments and were annoyed when work wasn't being done to their specifications. Additionally, employees with higher seniority often took hours from the schedules of those with lower seniority. This, however, is more of the union's fault, I think.

Pros

The management is very nice, and will work with your schedule. You aren't forced to cater to unruly or rude customers.

Cons

Some co-workers needed to be fired but were allowed to continue their employment. Very fast paced work, very high stress. Needs more staff.
