Pros

The store is limited to military personnel so you build relationships with customers.

Cons

People complain about higher ups but just do your job and you will be ok.

Pros

The customers are some of the best in the world and are a joy to work with compared to most retail locations. Even the Managers and Supervisors make working with them rather painless; they even help out on the floor often. I've got great coworkers who like myself were screened rather meticulously before being hired.

Cons

The pay is minimal, just barely surpassing minimal wage and benefits only become open to full and part-time workers. Flex-workers average a good six months before they are brought on full or part-time. The technology used is not the best; the cash registers are slow and glitchy... we've had them since last May.

Work is not worth the pay. Working there is more of an "I have nothing else to do at home" kind of employment.

Pros

SOME of your co-workers will get along with you. You get to shop there, that's pretty much it.

Cons

The work you do there is not worth the pay! It's retail, what do you expect? Clothes, dozens of customers, markdowns, floor changes, go-backs, and floor maintenance is all over the place. Majority of employees are women, so there is ALOT of "she did this" and "she did that." DRAMA CENTRAL! Managers are too big headed about themselves too.
