Pros

I have a lot of great co-workers, and shifts go by quickly with them. The store is very clean and updated. It's a safe working environment, and close to my house.

Cons

I was hired as seasonal with a less-than-concrete implication of being hired as part-time after the holiday season. I got stuck in a flex position. Now I average 16 hours a week at $8 an hour - not good. There is really no room to move up or get more pay. It's a balancing act of knowing who to trust. Some people (even supervisors and managers) try to find dirt on people - they're very nosy and way too interested in our personal lives. Leadership doesn't always have your back with difficult customers.
