Pros

Customers are generally pleasant (making fun purchases). My store team and managers were great to work with. Generous associate discount policy. Flexible scheduling.

Cons

Customer service is not a corporate value; poorly-staffed stores and rush-rush policies discourage helping customers. Minimum-wage pay, and if you do your job well, you'll get a 15-cent raise annually. Zero appreciation for knowledgable, hard-working and long-term employees (I was there 8 years), whose only real raises come from increases to minimum wage. Few opportunities to advance to full-time positions.

Pros

No customer interactions for night crew

Cons

Unloading the trucks is a pain, and you hardly make any money
