      Pros

      Pay, awesome customers and co workers.

      Cons

      Nepotism, restrictive hours and hiring, minimal staff is expected to pull extra weight. Store manager is verbally agressive and unsupportive. Employees are becoming burned out and looking for somewhere to be treated better.
