Pros

This is a great part-time job for many people, however few people transition into full-time year round employees. People are generally kind to each other, and it's not hard to call in sick. A lot of great, competent people work here.

Cons

Pay is low compared to other retail jobs in the area. Very few people transition from seasonal to full-time, year round work.
