Pros

10% discount and made a few friends

Cons

Store managers and area managers are horrible. They don’t care about their staff especially ones with mental health problems. Long hours and expected to work on your days off and they don’t even thank you! Expect you to know stuff when you haven’t even been trained and get shouted at for it!
