      Pros

      Fun place with good co-workers. Benefits are good and so are the discounts.

      Cons

      Not very easy to move up in the company. I've been there over a year with no promotions. I have lots of experience and management experience but that doesn't matter to them as much as being 100% on board with their company ideals.

      Pros

      - Friendly coworkers - Great if you are a student and have weird working schedules - Work-life balance for the most part

      Cons

      - Different stores have different work environments. I transferred from a store in the suburbs to one in the city and the work culture is totally different. - Depending on your manager you can hate it or love it. - Pay is NOT that great. I understand that we shouldn't be paid $20/hr or anything like that but the difference between management pay and that of sales associates and shift leads is ridiculous. For a company that is all about giving back, it sure leaves its workers to struggle, especially those that work and live in a big city. I know numerous, good hardworking individuals that have to work two jobs because the pay is so poor. - It will take you A LONG time to move up if you're starting from the bottom of the ladder.
