Pros

Nice people who are easy to get along with. semi- Comfortable working conditions. Must sign in and sign in and again out for lunch with a 20 character password. must punch every time. Employee discount as stated 25% is in reality only 10%. Equipment and tools are old and not up to date.

Cons

They underpay from what can be obtained elsewhere on the free market. I was promised $15 per hour as a firearms specialist but when the check came it was only $13. Minimum wage in Illinois. Employees are often told to work out of their job classification. They work a 7 to 7 1/2 hr day not 8 hours. Only paid for those hours.

Pros

Many Customers are amazing. Some coworkers are simply great. Relatively east training

Cons

If your related or friends with management then you'll be fine. If you aren't totally independent by like day 3 then you are assign to be a cashier even if its not your title. Many young employees would openly vape in the store, they once did donuts on a customer's lawnmower. No consequences for poor work ethic and dangerous behavior, unless you are on the outside of main clique. Trained over 20 employees on front end and cashier just to watch them get promoted and I was still just a cashier. Then once I was promoted after doing the extra work for 6 months. But my title is purely decorative, I'm just a cashier who does everything with no reward
