Pros

The guests are amazing to interact with and working at the customer service desk is fun.

Management and people higher up play favorites with certain employees. The repetitive cashier routine is very boring.

Pros

As a part time employee, hours are flexible. Good job for students.

Cons

Expected to do many jobs, plus take care of guests. Often put on manager role but get part time pay. Pay drops more than $2 per hour if you go from full time to part time even tho your responsibilities are the same.

Lots of improvements to be made

Pros

Most fellow employees,and some store level managers are ok to work with, instant profit sharing, extra $2.50 per hour on Saturdays and Sundays, flexible scheduling, nearly unlimited hours if you want them, due to being sorely understaffed

Cons

Severe understaffing due to wages being not nearly as competitive as they used to be. This has turned the hiring process into a revolving door, or results in subpar help. More incoming freight than can be feasibly handled, which results in a cluttered, messy store. Slow, outdated computer equipment and infrastructure. Managers sometimes work 70 hours per week or more if the store is short on help. No 401k match. Raises are a paltry $.10 per hour, and can only be obtained by passing a competency test. Expensive health insurance with shoddy coverage.
