Well, it started well, but went promptly downhill

Pros

-Employee discount is really nice. It was 25% when I worked there, and goes up to 40% two to three times per year for special employee promotions -Awesome products! Definitely a place to work for arts/crafts lovers

Cons

-Uniforms. Ugh. Black shirt, tan pants, half-apron. We looked like waiters. At least when we had the ridiculous big red aprons, people knew we worked there -New points system. A former co-worker of mine was fired because she didn't have enough points left and was rushed to the emergency room, thus missing work. No one cared that she almost died, she still got fired.
