A Great Place To Work

Pros

The managers were very flexible about giving me hours that worked for me. The other people that worked with me were also great. The parties that we had six times a year were also great because we all got to bond

Cons

I had no problems with the company.

Pros

It's fun. If you're a good/hard worker, there are many opportunities to move up.

Cons

The pay is WAY too low for all of the hard work I and my co-workers do. "Full-time" is 25 or less hours a week at my store. I'm starting school in the fall, and would like to be working 40 hours a week to save up. I've mentioned this numerous times to the manager in charge of schedules, and I'm still only scheduled around 25 hours a week.
